Frozen Planet II

- Season 1

(2022)

The series begins by travelling from pole to pole revealing the frozen worlds that exist across the world and the animals that live in them. Antarctica, the Himalaya, the Great Steppe, boreal forest, tundra and the Arctic are visited.

This edition looks at the Arctic Ocean, as after 4 months of winter darkness the sun returns. Mother polar bears emerge from their dens, a pod of beluga whales confined to an ice hole wait for release, harp seal mothers teach their pups.

Explore ice worlds born of altitude. Found on every continent, these icy 'islands in the sky' pose a range of challenges for the animals who choose to live there.

The most extreme frozen world of all - Antarctica. At first glance it may appear lifeless, but miraculously, life finds a way.

Enter the largest land-habitat on Earth, home to great Boreal forests and the barren tundra where the seasons bring both challenges and opportunities.

These frozen worlds have reached a tipping point--their future hangs in the balance and with it, so does ours.

This episode goes behind the scenes with the production team, revealing the astounding challenges they encountered in sometime dangerous conditions while on location.
