If you saw a lost dog, what would you do? If it seemed friendly would you check its collar? What about a cat in a tree? Would you be willing to climb it to help a terrified little creature? Well, what if that creature wasn't so little? Would you care? Would you help? What do you do when you're the only thing standing between its survival and its awful doom?
Grab your parkas because this week, Madi is taking us all the way up to Northern Alaska where we learn about the Inupiat people and the whales that migrate through.
Don't forget, you can find pics from today's episode here!
