To The Arctic is an extraordinary journey to a place of extremes that few ever dare to go. In this film for IMAX® and IMAX 3D Theatres, we venture across floating ice with a mother polar bear and her two cubs as they struggle to survive; travel with a herd of caribou who journey for miles to their calving ground; plunge into the ethereal underwater world of waltzing walruses; and gaze across hundreds of miles of snow-bound peaks and a vast expanse of the Arctic Ocean, an exquisite spectacle of sapphire white.

To The Arctic tells the story of one mother polar bear’s determination to keep her cubs alive in the face of natural predators and a rapidly changing climate. The polar bear has become the symbol of change in the Arctic and our impact on the planet, but this story is not just about a species’ struggle for survival. Home to people, animals and sea creatures that thrive on this icy world of glaciers, the Arctic Circle is facing dramatic changes that threaten to disrupt this delicate balance of life.

With the power of IMAX film technology, To The Arctic transports us to the ocean and tundra of the far north to witness the majestic richness and complexity of this environment. The stunning beauty of the Arctic is palpable in this 40-minute giant screen film that aims to cultivate a sense of our connectedness, relevance, and impact on this special place—and of the Arctic’s influence on the rest of our planet.

An ice-bound adventure for the whole family—coming to IMAX theatres in 2012 from Warner Bros. Pictures, MacGillivray Freeman Films and IMAX Corporation.
