White Wilderness contains a now-infamous scene that supposedly depicts a mass lemming migration, ending with hundreds leaping into the Arctic Ocean.The narrator of the film states that the lemmings are likely not committing suicide, but rather are in the course of migrating, and upon encountering a body of water are attempting to cross it.
These lemmings are found predominantly in tundra or high elevations. Populations can fluctuate widely and mass migrations do take place.
