The great Gordon Buchanan gads about in various cold climes prodding polar bears and the like. It has a compilation quality but Buchanan is always a charismatic draw and footage of him gamely scrabbling about on snowy hillsides is worth the price of admission alone really. Not a lot of it has stuck into my brain, certainly not enough to fill the required characters count here. I was going to write about the etymology of snow but that is dense and not particularly interesting, so I instead thought I'd puncture the idea that that Eskaluet languages have more words for snow than English but actually that turns out to also be quite a dense topic. Better to just make like Gordon and gad about in it.
