The Journey
As winter and spring drew to a close, the coastal ice floes were gradually fragmenting. The time had come for this family to embark on a great odyssey across the drifting ice floes, a world in perpetual change. In this unstable environment, every day is a new adventure, where instinct and adaptation become essential to their survival.
