Life In The Freezer DVD

"It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living." In 60 years of broadcasting Sir David Attenborough has visited almost every part of the planet and has helped produce some of the most stunning nature programmes ever made. This DVD is just one of a number of landmark titles that has seen him lauded as the world's leading natural history film-maker. Antarctica is the wildest, coldest, most isolated continent on Earth. Covered and surrounded by 90% of the world's ice, its 14 million square kilometres are doubled each winter by the freezing of the sea. The average temperature at the South Pole is -49 Centigrade, dropping to -70 and below in mid winter. Yet this inhospitable landscape is home to a surprisingly rich variety of wildlife, much of it unique to the region. David Attenborough and his 20-strong crew spent three years braving mountainous seas. 160kph blizzards, plummeting temperatures and glaciers the size of cathedrals for this first complete natural history of Antarctica. Venturing into previously inaccessible territory, they used the very latest technology and techniques to capture on land and under water the glories of this magnificent continent. With more scenes of sheer beauty, passion, comedy, aggression and sadness than any drama. Life in the Freezer is an unmissable opportunity to experience the last true wilderness on earth.
