Are you planning a winter holiday? If so, no doubt you want a ski resort with every modern convenience plus picturesque scenery. But what of the people who have lived in the mountains all their lives? What effect do you, the tourists, have on them-good or bad? French TV reports.

In winter it's so cold that if you throw out your washing-up water it freezes before it hits the ground. Yet in the summer the temperature rises to 80 and the towns are sprayed with insecticide to keep the mosquitoes down. Animals and plants have survived only by a series of unique adaptations to the extreme environment.
Now there is a plan to build an oil pipe-line across Alaska. But if the plan goes ahead can Alaska use its new material wealth wisely or will plastic America obliterate this, the last great wilderness?
