National Geographic’s latest documentary, The Last Ice, tells the harrowing story of how Inuit communities in Canada and Greenland are being impacted by the melting sea ice in the Arctic.

Pikialasorsuaq is surrounded by “last ice area," which is expected to remain when all other areas with significant summer ice will be gone. Protecting this area is essential for the surrounding communities and the sea ice dependant wildlife.

“The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world,” Dr. Enric Sala, executive producer and National Geographic’s Explorer-in-Residence said in a panel discussion following the film’s premiere on Oct. 7. “The Inuit are really the human face of global warming, and all these activities that produce all this carbon pollution are not in the Arctic region, they are mostly in a world where we are or farther south, but they are suffering the consequences.”
