Frozen Planet Series I to II DVD   BBC

The Artic and Antarctic remain the greatest wilderness on Earth. The scale and beauty of the scenery and the sheer power of the elements – the weather, the ocean and the ice – is unmatched anywhere else on our planet. Yet these harsh environments are teeming with life: home to iconic animals from polar bears to Adélie penguins and from killer whales to wandering albatrosses. Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, Frozen Planet I & II is the ultimate portrait of Earth’s polar regions. The films utilise the latest camera technology to transform our vision of the region: on land, from the air, underwater and below the Arctic ice cap.

These are worlds of surprising variety and beauty – seemingly untouched by human presence. It’s this isolation, far from the noise of human existence, that makes these places so special.

Filmed across two decades, Frozen Planet I & II is a breath-taking portrait of our icy worlds at a time when their very future hangs in the balance.
