Situated in the center of the state, just 150 miles south of the Arctic Circle, Fairbank's winter temperatures can plunge as low as -50 degrees F. On the shortest day of the year, the sun rises around 11:00 AM and sets around 2:45 PM. That's less than four hours of daylight. How does a major city stay up and running in such an extreme environment? Geo finds out when he spends a week in the Fairbanks metro area during a winter cold snap. He joins the North Star Volunteer Fire Department and finds out how the bitter cold, homemade houses and lots of wood stoves create a situation rife for disaster. He'll go on a hunt for a roaming band of wolves plaguing the city's pet population. And he'll get a tough taste of daily life in Fairbanks, where even basics like getting fresh water and commuting to work are complicated challenges for the city's residents.
