The Go Jetters and the Snowy Mountains of Japan
In The Go Jetters and the Snowy Mountains of Japan, Ubercorn and the Go Jetters head to the snowy mountains of Japan! At Jigokudani Monkey Park, snow monkeys relax in hot springs to stay warm during the icy winters. These warm pools are like nature’s hot tubs, thanks to heat bubbling up from deep underground! Plus, every group of snow monkeys has a special leader to guide them through the snow. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four plucky international heroes as they travel the globe visiting the world’s most famous landmarks with their friend and mentor, Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
