Life Below Zero° - Season 12

With a seasonal shift spreading across the Arctic, wicked conditions force Alaska residents to plan for the worst or risk losing everything.

Glenn burns a man-made structure to the ground; the Hailstones embark on a hunt for seal meat.

Increased sunlight in the Arctic means the days are longer, the ice and snow are thawing and the tasks for survival must get done before spring.

With the rivers flowing and the spring thaw in full swing, residents of the last frontier travel off the beaten path to hunt and gather key resources.

The Hailstones pull together to build a footbridge; Jessie goes fishing while looking out for some good spruce trees; Ricko has his children over to stay plus an extra surprise guest.

Jessie collects logs in anticipation of the coming winter. The Hailstones prepare themselves for the coming fish run. Ricko teaches his younger children to hunt and fish. Sue tests her mettle against the capricious, flooding tundra.

In Alaska, summer is spent preparing for what lies ahead; the Hailstones spend a night on the water; Sue Aikens battles river currents to source coal; Ricko DeWilde secures food with nets made by his late mother; Jessie Holmes gathers firewood.

With the summer ending, Alaskans must overcome exhaustion, injury and failure; after seeking medical aid, Andy returns home to pick up the pieces; Jessie harvests salmon; Sue searches for winter food; the Hailstones gather key resources.

To survive in the Arctic, Alaskans must battle Father Time to harvest the last of summer's bounty. Sue tracks a lone predator. The Hailstones have a chance at a key resource. Jessie builds a new cabin, and Andy fights the clock.

Chip Hailstone goes on a duck hunt while Agnes and the girls pick berries. Sue looks out for some caribou meat. Jessie goes looking for a big bear. Andy and Denise collect water with hope of restoring the greenhouse.

At the edge of the warm season, Alaskans prepare to pay winter's cost; Ricko DeWilde heads out on a proxy moose hunt to aid a village elder; Sue Aikens builds an arctic entryway; Jessie Holmes works to finish his dream cabin before conditions worsen.
