Wielding chainsaws to extract fossils frozen into the permafrost and flying drones to map thousands of footprints, fearless paleontologists discover that dinosaurs thrived in the unlikeliest of places -- the cold and dark of the Arctic Circle. How did they survive year-round and raise their young in frigid and dark winter conditions?
