I think we've got two shows mixed in the same thread. There's the Alaska Experiment and Expedition Alaska. Maybe it's just me but I hadn't noticed that much about GW on AE.
I believe you are correct.
Expedition Alaska is, as quoted, “a two-hour special that follows a team of international scientists, naturalists, and wildlife filmmakers on a quest to document and understand the effects of climate change on the vast Alaskan landscape.” Expedition Alaska features
these scientists.
The Alaska Experiment, which is what this thread is about, is a show that “chronicles what happens when four teams of urban professionals try to survive the wilderness of Alaska” and features
these teams of people.
