Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan travel the world to visit areas famous for natural light displays in the sky, discovering the traditions of the local people and going in search of winter wildlife. Their journey takes them to the desert of Jordan, where they get a taste of nomadic Bedouin life, while scanning the skies for a rare planetary conjunction that could be the origin for the story of the Star of Bethlehem. Going to the opposite climatic extreme, they visit Norway's frozen wilderness to see the Northern Lights, snow-mobiling with a Sami family and discovering how eagles and reindeer thrive in icy conditions
