The Chukchi Sea: Gateway to the Arctic

This documentary explores the Chukchi Sea, the broad, shallow water between Siberia and Alaska that shapes Arctic climate and ocean life. Scripps oceanographer Neal Driscoll explains how this remote region influences fresh water, nutrients, and the health of the wider Arctic. Along the way it reveals the science of a fast-changing polar world and why it matters far beyond the far north. Informative and clear, it is a fascinating look at a little-known sea.
