Frozen Planet II 4K UHD

Product Information

The finale examines the sobering effect of climate change and the consequences for vulnerable harp seals and polar bears from earlier in the series, as well as the wider planet.

With as few as 120 individuals in the wild, the Amur leopard is the rarest big cat in nature. Thanks to the dedication of scientists and rangers in Russia’s Far East, the populations have almost tripled in the last ten years. Cubs are reported each year and there is hope for the recovery of the species. Amur leopards have rarely been filmed in the wild previously. To film calving glaciers from an aerial perspective the team used drones. The glacier in question, Store Glacier, measures 5km across and the team had to be on standby watching the glacier 24/7 for more than four weeks, ready to launch the drones whenever action seemed likely, within minute of activity starting. Alex is the producer of both theFrozen Worlds&Frozen Peaksepisodes ofFrozen Planet II. In the 14 years that he has been working for the BBC’s Natural History Unit his passion to deliver ground-breaking stories has taken him from the sewers of Bangkok (Wild Cities) to the high peaks of the Himalaya (Mountains: Life at the Extreme). Alex has worked extensively at high altitude and specialises in filming in extreme environments, such as the Arctic Tundra (Alaska: Earths Frozen Kingdom) and the remote jungles of Papua New Guinea (Attenborough's Paradise Birds). There’s humour here, in the form of walruses rolling their way into the water to cool down, but a serious message about rising summer temperatura b "Penguins march their way to the Royal Albert Hall ahead of Frozen Planet II". www.bbc.co.uk .

Glacier Time lapse ( Ferpècle Glacier, Gorner Glacier, Saint Annafirn Glacier, Morteratsch Glacier, Switzerland) The unprecedented changes our scientists are witnessing may be profound, but there is hope that, through a combination of technology and willpower, there is still time to save what remains of our frozen planet. Earth Prom, part of the BBC Proms season, is a stunning audio-visual celebration of the BBC’s world-famous Natural History Unit, from David Attenborough’s pioneering early adventures through to the landmark series of the 21st century. With breath-taking images, natural sounds, spoken words and music by composers including Hans Zimmer, performed live in the spectacular surroundings of the Royal Albert Hall by Ben Palmer and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Further north, on the featureless tundra, a solitary Arctic fox must strike a living alone head diving for lemmings hidden deep underground. In Siberia’s remote forests camera traps reveal rare Amur leopards on the prowl and, in its footsteps, an even larger big cat, the Siberian tiger.

Episode 1 - Frozen Worlds

Leaving Antarctica and travelling north, we discover frozen habitats that are created by altitude. The greatest of these is the Himalaya, the tallest mountain range on earth, which contains so much ice and snow it is known as the third pole. In the shadow of the Himalaya lies a vast frozen grassy plain that is home to the fluffiest cat in the world, Pallas’s cat. It may have extremely dense fur, but if it’s to survive the Mongolian winter, it needs to catch lots of gerbils and voles. Easier said than done when you only have short legs and paws that are sensitive to the cold.

And, as we learn in episode six, how these changing worlds are also impacting all of us. In essence, it will show why we are more closely connected to these highly remote regions than perhaps we first appreciated. The two-minute first look trailer teases scenes from four years of remarkable expeditions by BBC Studios Natural History Unit to all the Earth’s frozen frontiers - the Arctic, Antarctic, Tundra, Boreal Forest and the High Mountains. It shows off incredible animals in their natural habitats as never seen before, even joining forces to survive in brutal environments. Finally, in Antarctica, we meet Bill Fraser, who has dedicated 45 years of his life to studying the Adelie penguin. 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.

We meet lonely albatross forming unexpected male-male pairs as there are no longer enough females to bond with, before journeying across the Southern Ocean to meet the largest animal on earth - giant Antarctic blue whales. These are seldom seen, let alone filmed.

The result was a new insight into this remarkable animal’s behaviour which resulted in a scientific paper being published. Frozen South takes us to the most hostile ice world of all – Antarctica, an entire continent covered in snow and ice full of surprises. Here hardy animals cling around its coastal fringes. They sometimes do so in surprising numbers as on the island of South Georgia where, even in winter, colonies of king penguins number in their thousands.

BBC Studios Natural History Unit produces the world’s most iconic natural history programmes, such as Frozen Planet II, Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II, which have been watched by more than a billion people globally. Ranging from super-landmarks and technically challenging live shows to long-running series and children’s content, The Natural History Unit programmes include The Green Planet and Seven Worlds, One Planet presented by Sir David Attenborough, Dynasties, Springwatch and Andy’s Aquatic Adventures, and third-party commissions for Discovery, AppleTV+, NBCU, National Geographic, and BBC America. The Natural History Unit is part of BBC Studios. Permafrost has been frozen since the last ice age and, by definition, should be ‘permanently frozen’. However as Arctic summers on the tundra now reach temperatures warm enough to thaw the normally frozen ground, the ground itself is collapsing.
