Cozy up with a cup of hot cocoa as Emma shares a heartwarming story from her childhood! Before we dive into the new season coming in the new year, Emma takes you back to when she was just 9 years old, staying at her aunt's countryside home on a cold, foggy winter night. What started as a simple evening chore – counting chickens and checking on the goats – turned into Emma's very first wildlife rescue when she heard a mysterious, high-pitched scream in the darkness. Was it a bird? A coyote? Something else entirely?

Join Emma as she recounts the moment that changed everything and set her on the path to becoming an Earth Ranger. Plus, learn about Emma's top 5 countdown of animals that change color in the winter!

New episodes return in the new year. Until then, keep on rangin'!

On Emma's last morning in the Arctic, Aputik and Daniel take her on one final adventure – a snowmobile ride out onto the frozen sea ice of Frobisher Bay for a traditional Inuit picnic!

As Emma sips hot tea and tries frozen raw caribou dipped in soy sauce, Daniel explains the flow edge – where currents keep the water open year-round, creating vital hunting grounds for seals. But he also shares how climate change is transforming the North.

Join Emma as her Arctic journey comes to an emotional close. She arrived thinking she knew what conservation meant – and leaves understanding that Inuit have been the true stewards of this land for thousands of years, with so much to teach us all.

Thank you for following Emma's journey through the Arctic. We hope you learned as much as she did about Inuit culture, traditional knowledge and what conservation really means.

Emma and Aputik meet George and his incredible team of Canadian Inuit dogs. As George harnesses his dogs to the qimutsik (dog sled) and shouts commands in Inuktitut, Emma experiences the power, precision and beauty of one of the Arctic’s oldest traditions.

With each glide across the snow, Emma feels the deep connection between people, dogs, and the land – and understands why keeping this tradition alive matters so much today.

Emma and Aputik visit 10 year old Nuka at his home in Nunavik to hear the incredible story of his hunt. From spotting "furry rocks" on a distant mountainside (that turned out to be a 400kg muskox!) to navigating treacherous terrain by snowmobile, Nuka shares every detail of his first big hunt – including the moment he got nervous pulling the trigger.

But this episode isn't just about the hunt. Emma learns how Inuit families use every part of the animal – from vacuum-packing the meat to share with elders and relatives, to spinning the soft qiviut fur into luxurious warm clothing. And she learns about Nuka's favourite things about living in the north – including the wolves that visit his backyard!

Join Emma as she realizes that Inuit children learn survival skills and cultural knowledge that connect them deeply to the land – skills that have been passed down for thousands of years.

Next episode: Emma goes dog sledding! Learn about the ancient tradition of qimutsik (dog sleds) and discover how Inuit traveled across the Arctic long before snowmobiles.
