Bears are an ultimate icon of the wild, regarded as among the most successful wild animals on
the planet. Three of the eight bear species in the world – brown bears, black bears, and polar
bears –can be found in Alaska, one of North America’s last truly wild frontiers. Nature joins
adventurer and bear biologist Chris Morgan on a year-long motorcycle odyssey deep into
Alaska’s bear country to explore the amazing resiliency and adaptability of these majestic
animals as they struggle to make a living in five dramatically diverse Alaskan ecosystems:
coastal, urban, mountain, tundra, and pack ice.

This journey back in time goes deep into Louisiana's million-acre Atchafalaya Swamp for an
adventure with writer Gwen Roland, who 30 years earlier built a houseboat by hand and lived as
her forebears had generations earlier. Roland's heritage provides an unusual backdrop for a
universal story of self-discovery and the embrace of youthful idealism and a simpler life. The
program features images by National Geographic photographer C.C. Lockwood.
