Bering Sea Voices

After the Ice, a three-part video series funded by the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH), captures the stories of Indigenous communities immensely challenged by sea ice loss in Alaska’s Bering Sea. SEARCH sea ice scientists partnered with the Bering Sea Elders Group, an association of Alaska Native elders appointed by 39 Iñupiat and Yup’ik tribes in Alaska’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta and Bering Strait region, to create the films. The series is available on the PBS Terra YouTube Channel.
