Recreating the Ice age and slowing global warming in remote Russian Artic

In the remote Russian Arctic, an aging scientist and his son are trying to recreate the Ice Age. They call their experiment Pleistocene Park – a perfect home for woolly mammoths, resurrected by modern genetics. But the mammoths are only a means to a bigger end: defusing a carbon timebomb frozen in the permafrost to slow the effects of global warming.

An abandoned Soviet TV antennae has been used to setup the global climate and permafrost research centre by Sergey Zimov. Watch the film to know this amazing project that is contributing to combating climate change on the frontiers of Northern Pole.
