For thousands of years, the Inupiat people lived off the land. Nomadic hunters, chasing targets, depending on the seasons. Now those weather patterns have utterly and irreversibly shifted. Locals say that sea ice used to form in September. Now, it forms in October or as late as November. The Arctic is warming at least twice as fast as the rest of the globe, according to the Arctic Program Report Card. Climate change is threatening Inupiats' survival - both physically and mentally. Inupiat women are trying to hold their families together through it all. Life on Thin Ice follows three generations of Inupiat women - a grandmother, mother and daughter - to see what direct human impact climate change has had on the community. What else have they lost along with the ice?
