Life Below Zero has been released as somewhat of a spinoff sequel to the original NatGeo documentary-style TV show Port Protection. Port Protection was released in 2015 and ran for a total of three successful seasons. Let's take a trip down memory lane to see the original Port Protection's cast.
Port Protection is a remote place in Alaska with a very low population. Only the most adaptable and hardcore choose to live there because of the harsh living conditions. The land is rugged and unforgiving and the landscape is filled with snow for the majority of the year. There are no advanced medical or technological services nearby so people have to do things the old fashioned way. Port Protection is surrounded by a very cold sea that makes life even more difficult. There have often been rumours that a Port Protection cast member dies, the only member who passed away that we could verify Jack Mason and he died of old age.
