Frozen Planet - Icy Worlds Ii

Eleven years after the phenomenal first season, "Frozen Planet" returns with a captivating journey through magical, icy lands. From the producers of "Our Planet II" and "Planet Earth II," it explores one of the most fascinating yet endangered habitats on Earth: the realm of cold. Nowhere else are the effects of climate change so evident. In 2011, the first series provided viewers with an unprecedented insight into life at the North and South Poles. Now, over 11 years later, "Frozen Planet" is back to observe the most astonishing species and behaviors of these icy worlds. In addition to the Arctic and Antarctic, the sequel also focuses on life and changes in the coldest regions of the world beyond the poles: the high mountains, frozen deserts, snow-covered forests, and frigid oceans. These are the last true wilderness areas on Earth—remote and extremely challenging for survival: from polar bears to penguins, from Siberian tigers to snow monkeys—each species faces unique, individual challenges. Yet the greatest challenge also affects us humans. As temperatures rise at an unprecedented rate, our frozen planet is literally disappearing before our eyes. The series reveals the true impacts on wildlife and people. With state-of-the-art camera technology, whether specialized drones or ultra-modern underwater cameras, stunning footage of animals and natural spectacles has been captured. Dedicated scientists from around the world contributed to the realization of this magnificent nature documentary. The result is a breathtaking portrait of our icy worlds at a time when their future is more at stake than ever.
