Apart from global warming, there is another threat to the Arctic lingering underneath the surface. Dangerous pesticides from all over the world are being carried to the poles by northbound winds and waves, poisoning animals and people. Two girls in Northern Greenland are travelling to a disappearing village where one of them still lives. Against a background of melting ice they discuss the pollution which is not only dramatically changing their lives but threatening the entire world.
