Sunday Feature: Above Sixty, Below Zero

As part of Radio 3's Northern Lights season, writer, journalist and Nordic obsessive Lesley Riddoch follows the 60th parallel north to discover how climate change is altering the relationship between humans and the landscape in the far north. Lesley visits the Swedish city that is about to fall into the world's largest underground iron ore mine. In Iceland she meets farmers, entomologists and archaeologists dealing with the most rapid climate warming on the planet. She hears how hunting and fishing patterns are changing for the Inuit of Baffin Island and considers the contrasting attitudes of America and Russia to the Arctic as the ice melts and wealth beckons from the far north
