Award-winning extreme diver Christina Karliczek Skoglund sets out on a breathtaking expedition into the frozen depths of the Arctic, on a mission to capture the elusive Greenland sharks on film. Determined to dive alongside one of the oldest living creatures in the ocean, Christina also teams up with leading scientists to explore groundbreaking discoveries about these mysterious giants.

In the second episode, her journey takes her even farther north into the remote wilderness of Northern Greenland, where she searches for the legendary “unicorns of the sea” — the narwhals. These rare, ice-dwelling whales are among the species most at risk from the rapidly changing climate.

A visually stunning and emotionally powerful two-part documentary that plunges viewers into a world few have ever seen — where ice, endurance, and wonder meet beneath the Arctic waves.
