SVALBARD - 'De laatste wildernis' (The Last Wilderness) takes you to two of the most extreme and inaccessible places on Earth: the North and South Poles, and the depths of the ocean.

Join us on a journey of discovery to the far reaches of our planet, where scientists are gaining valuable insights into the climate crisis, biodiversity, space travel and the future of our Earth. This project combines adventure stories with scientific insights, revealing the human stories behind the discoveries.

The central question is this: what can we learn from these last wildernesses before they disappear, and what extraordinary measures do researchers take to study them?
