Zev and Tenji join the Tundra Trail Seekers under permafrost expert Dr. Galen to explore the hidden wonders beneath the Whitewind Tundra's frozen surface. With ground-penetrating sensors, they uncover ancient plant and insect remnants while tiny Arctic poppies and emerging bumblebee queens reveal life at the brink of thaw. When summer warmth sparks permafrost melt, they construct simple methane traps and learn the global significance of greenhouse gases. Beneath dancing auroras, the friends combine modern science with Inuit wisdom, presenting their discoveries to elders and schoolchildren. Together, they spark a community initiative—planting cold-resistant willows to stabilize the fragile tundra for generations to come.
