Shedding new light on the beauty and peril of the world's most fragile ecosystems, Frozen Planet offers behind-the-scenes insights and the unique challenges of filing in these frozen worlds, where the camera crew and wildlife alike brave the elements.
Looking down from space it might surprise you to learn that much of earth is blanketed in snow in ice, in fact, frozen wilderness covers more than a fifth. From the highest peaks to snow desserts and the wonders beneath the ice they are home to an astonishing array of wildlife found nowhere else on earth.
Witnessing wonders while there is still time to save them, David Attenborough celebrates the diverse world of ice, a world that is sadly disappearing before our very eyes as a result of the warming planet. The arctic is heating up twice as fast as the rest of the planet. The melting ice the summer floes polar bears depend on could be gone by 2035 and the ice being lost in Greenland alone is responsible for a quarter of the rise in global sea levels.
From chameleons giving birth on the frosty slopes of Mount Kenya to endangered Amur leopards in the Russian forest and killer whales hunting Weddell seals on ice floes in the Antarctic, Frozen Planet shares incredible undiscovered stories.
With over 250 stunning full-colour photographs, Frozen Planet II reveals the wonders of the fastest-changing part of our planet, as we may never see them again.
