in a warm brief season.

The sun shines the 24 hours,

it penetrates the dark waters...

... and he/she has a magic effect.

An explosion of life attracts to the North

to marine hungry beings.

Always...

... the summer it has reduced the fields

of ice during a short period.

But the cold returns with the autumn...

... the ice at once claims the coast

and then it grows slowly toward the sea.

Clever to put an end

to their summery fast...

Nanu and their family wait

that they reappear their hunt lands...

... on the frozen sea...

... while they practice

for the hunt of coming seal.

Their mom teaches them the technique.

And also something more.

It provokes Nanu, he/she attempts

to inculcate him/her spirit strength.

Resistance in the face of the adversity.

Apparently,

Nanu has the adapted character.

Concentration misses its brother.

Finally, a sign.

The darkest days they announce

the return of the winter...

... and, with him, that of a frozen sea

and solid that will allow them to hunt.

I joust on time.

Nanu and their family are hungry.

However,

this year something has changed.

Hardness misses ice.

Mother dares she had never seen

a similar winter.

They will have to return and to await

to that the ice becomes denser.

And until then,

they will continue hungry.

The family of Seela also search

ice solid that can sustain them.

They lapse weeks.

That that the animals of the Kingdom of ice

they don't know...

... it is that their old style

of survival he/she will enter in crisis.

The sea, and the air on this,

they are warmer than in the past.

The ice struggles be formed again.

At the end, the ice returns here...

... but three months later.

Everything seems to return to the normality

in the Kingdom of ice.

But there has been very little snow

to build a paridera...

... so the puppy of rung seal

it is defenseless on the ice...

... to their worst enemy's full view.

It is also a challenge

for the mother of Nanu...

... that he/she specializes

in hunting hidden preys.

How it can surprise

to a seal that you see it come closer?

Their attack is a true failure.

Nanu reminds to its mom

how it is made.

"Yes, thank you for the explanation, daughter!"

Mother dares she knows

that the birds go to the food...

... so they follow the birds.

Here close there is food.

But the only way of arriving is

to pass before their owner's noses...

... a bear.

Hounded by the hunger,

they run a tremendous risk.

They escape, but they are hungrier.

And now he/she shows up a new danger.

An arctic tempest.

The storm winds blow

with an extraordinary fury...

... and they charge with force against the

coast, before protected by ice solid.
