In the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness, the arrival of spring doesn’t signal a reprieve, but rather a frantic scramble against the clock. “Life Below Zero°” returns with “It’s Never Easy,” airing Tuesday, December 17th on National Geographic, offering a glimpse into this critical seasonal transition. While the thaw might bring a welcome respite from the deep freeze, it also presents a narrow window of opportunity to complete essential tasks before the next brutal winter descends.
For the hardy souls who call this remote landscape home, warmer weather is a mixed blessing. It’s a chance to repair vital equipment, secure provisions, and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. But with the ground still thawing and the days lengthening, time is a luxury they can scarcely afford. “It’s Never Easy” serves as the twelfth episode of Season 23, delivering another dose of stark realities faced by Alaskans living off the grid.
“Life Below Zero°” airs Tuesdays at 9 PM on National Geographic.
