The Americas: The Frozen North Watch Kit
Where the influence of the northern pole creates a beautiful yet challenging world.
The Frozen North is an adventure through the vast wilderness of Alaska and Canada. A land of contrasts shaped by the sun, it experiences the continent’s most extreme seasons. Summer’s 24-hour sunlight fuels life, while fall brings eerie twilight. In winter, the sun barely rises, temperatures plunge, and ice tests all who live here. The sun’s power also creates one of Earth’s most magical sights—the aurora borealis or “northern lights.”
