Glacier Bay (1993)
Against a backdrop of beautiful Alaskan scenery the film explores the nature of this spectacular region, following wide-ranging grizzly bears and migrating humpback whales through the seasons of the year. The ice sheets themselves move with the seasons and summer sees the calving of the glaciers' massive walls of ice, falling into the seas as the warmer salt water melts their very foundations. An international documentary translated into Māori with English subtitles. Part of Te Wao Tūturu series.
