Overview

In 1980, the U.S. government banned new human occupation in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, a protected area, home to thousands of native animals and pristine terrain spanning roughly the size of South Carolina. Currently, only a handful of families spread across seven permitted cabins are allowed to remain in the refuge. Within less than 100 years, all remaining permits will reach expiration, and there will be no human presence left.

The sun returns, signaling late winter in ANWR. An unwelcome intruder threatens Tyler and Ashley's success. Heimo and Edna say a final goodbye to their oldest cabin, while Charlie meticulously builds his very first and reflects on his future in the bush. The Seldens embark on a 4-day trapping loop that could lead them through dangerous conditions. Heimo must compete with a pack of wolves to secure a moose for winter. The Lewis cabin is rehabbed, but the girls still have a lot to learn about this new home.
