Frozen Planet

Product Information

Our journey begins at the far edge of the continent, on its far-flung sub-Antarctic islands. Here we meet king penguins that, to feed at sea, must face the danger of ferocious leopard seals lurking in the shallows. On another island, we witness for the first time male Antipodean albatross partnering up with each other as the females in their population are disappearing due to fishing activity.

With so much more to discover, take a deep breath . . . and dive into a wondrous world beneath the waves. There is one place where the full scale of a melting Arctic can be best witnessed - from space. Based in the International Space Station, astronaut Jessica Meir looks down at forest fires across Europe and reflects how our changing weather patterns are interconnected. Frozen Planet II has been licensed worldwide by various broadcasters including BBC America in North America, ZDF in Germany, France Télévisions in France, Migu Video in China, NHK in Japan, Friday! in Russia, [6] Mediaset in Italy, [7] KBS in South Korea, [8] and the Nine Network in Australia.

Over this period, he has witnessed changes in weather conditions and the extinction of entire colonies. These ‘canaries in the coal mine’ are a sign that all is not well, even in the remotest place on earth. And changes here have the potential to affect all of us, so an international group of scientists is on an urgent mission to assess the stability of a huge body of ice known as the Thwaites ice shelf. If this plug of ice melts and slips into the ocean, it will raise global sea levels, impacting coastal communities across the planet.

Using groundbreaking time-lapse photography, we reveal mountain glaciers vanishing before our very eyes and discover what a warming world may mean for our most famous mountain resident of all, the giant panda. You'll meet venomous snakes that are welcomed into people's homes. Tiny treehoppers that form an alliance with bigger bugs. And crabs who like to hitch a ride on turtles' shells.

Episode Six: Our Frozen Planet (16 October 2022) takes a tonal shift in focusing on the biologists and climate scientists studying these frozen regions. It fully confronts the impact of human-caused climate change and how it has already, and continues to, influence the precious isolated frozen biomes. Featured scientists and regions include glaciologists as well as researchers studying baby harps and polar bears. Rapid ice loss is also happening across the high mountains of the planet’s continents. Glaciologist Hamish Pritchard uses a sophisticated helicopter-strung radar system to try to quantify how much ice is left in the previously uncharted glaciers of the Himalayas. It’s important as, downstream, some 1.2 billion people rely on glacial meltwater as their primary source of fresh water.

Whereas the original Frozen Planet series focused on life and the environment in both of the polar regions, this follow-up series broadened the scope to include the entire cryosphere, whilst also placing a greater emphasis on the threats the inhabitants of these regions face as a result of climate change. Antarctica has no permanent human residents, but people visit the continent for various reasons. Tourists visit to see king penguins, biologists use robot submarines to discover new life forms, geologists study the active volcano Mount Erebus and its unique caves, and astronomers use balloons to study cosmic rays. Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station is located exactly at the South Pole; it is named after the leaders of the first two expeditions to reach the Pole, Roald Amundsen (in 1911) and Robert Falcon Scott (in 1912). Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, and with the latest scientific discoveries and innovative filming, we will show you the secrets of our frozen planet, as you've never seen it before.
