Narrated by Sir David Attenborough and from the award-winning team behind Planet Earth & Blue Planet comes the ultimate portrait of the earth's Polar regions. The Arctic and Antarctic remain the greatest wildernesses on Earth. The scale and beauty of the scenery and the sheer power of the elements - the weather, the ocean and the ice - is unmatched anywhere else on our planet.

The material within these proceedings represents a summary for 2009–2016 on the state of knowledge and conservation concerns for polar bears throughout their range. The difficulties in studying a species that ranges widely, at low densities, and in one of the world’s most remote and environmentally challenging regions is evident in these proceedings. This report describes the current and future challenges and the conservation efforts needed to ensure the survival of polar bears.

Конвенция об охране всемирного культурного и природного наследия, принятая ЮНЕСКО в 1972 г., объединяет страны в их общем стремлении защитить объекты культурного и природного наследия, имеющие выдающееся значение для блага настоящих и будущих поколений.

The Arctic is an increasingly important region faced with major challenges caused not only by the effects of climate change, but also by a growing interest in its living and non-living resources, its attraction as a new destination for tourism, and as a route for navigation. It is not only the eight Arctic States that have paid an increased level of attention to the region; several non-Arctic actors from Asia and Europe also seek to gain more influence in the High North.

The Earth is faster now is a collection of ten papers describing contemporary efforts to document indigenous knowledge of environmental change in the Arctic. It reviews major individual studies on indigenous knowledge and climate change undertaken during the past few years, primarily in North America. The text is accompanied by local observations, quotations from interviews, personal observations, illustrations, and photographs.

Au premier printemps du millénaire, Frederik Paulsena foulé le pôle Nord et découvert que la Terre cachait d’autres pôles : le pôle magnétique, ce point mouvant que désignent les boussoles, le pôle géomagnétique, plus stable, et le pôle d’inaccessibilité. Comme la terre a deux hémisphères, ces quatre « pôles Nord » ont leur jumeau au sud, en Antarctique. Frederik Paulsen s’est lancé un défi : devenir le premier homme à atteindre les huit pôles de la planète.

Previously always at the margins of global affairs, the Arctic has now found its way to the centre of the issues which will challenge and define our world in the twenty-first century. The region is warming faster than anywhere else on the planet and its future is uncertain, with the rush to claim the territory one of the ugliest aspects of the hydrocarbon era.
