    The documentary episode explores life in extreme cold climates like Antarctica and the Arctic. It discusses how emperor penguins raise their young through the Antarctic winter with body temperatures of around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. It also examines hunting techniques of killer whales in Antarctica and Pallas's cats in Siberia's boreal forests, which must catch multiple rodents daily to survive. Additionally, it covers threats to Arctic species like Siberian tigers and polar bears from habitat loss, and effects of climate change like faster melting of Greenland's ice sheet that could lead to ice-free oceans by 2100.
