Karl Pilkington heads to Alaska to go whale watching. He is not prepared for the arctic conditions there. Gervais and Merchant have planned some snow hiking and dog sledding for him. He rides with an ice road trucker to the northernmost city in the United States, Barrow, where he meets with the Inuit people. They feed him bowhead whale meat and take him for a snowmobile ride to visit Point Barrow, the northernmost point in Alaska, where he sees the icebound seacoast. He then assists a local truck driver in Barrow who collects the contents of the local residents' chemical toilets. He sees glaciers up close by swimming in ice-cold water. When Pilkington finally gets to catch his whale-watching cruise, he learns that Gervais and Merchant have stuck him on a deep-sea fishing trawler, where he gets so seasick he does not care about seeing the whales while the rest of the crew point them out.
