同时 还为海洋带来了大量冰冷的淡水
[00:19:27]Greenland's meltwater
格陵兰的冰川融水
[00:20:17]influences the course of the ocean currents,
影响到洋流的流向

[01:01:25]Each spring, animals travel up from the south,
春季 动物从南部向北迁徙

时机至关重要
[01:13:20]Arrive early and a winter storm could kill you.

到来过晚便无法蓄积足够的脂肪
[01:19:27]needed to survive a polar winter.
挨过极地的寒冬
