TV-PGSynopsis
Frozen Planet (2011), Season 1 is a BBC documentary you can watch online on iFILM — seven episodes narrated by David Attenborough across both poles.
The season runs like a single polar year. It opens with a survey of the Arctic and Antarctic, then walks through spring as the sun comes back, a frantic summer crammed with breeding and feeding, autumn's big freeze, and a winter most animals flee. Two closing chapters turn to people: why humans have kept returning to the ends of the earth, and what scientists now read in the shrinking ice. Every stretch hangs on specific animals and how they get through it.
Years in the making, it caught behaviour no camera had filmed before. If Planet Earth pulled you in, this one sits closer and colder. Stream Frozen Planet Season 1 online on iFILM.
7 episodes
S1·E1To the Ends of the Earth
A survey of the Arctic and Antarctic, discovering magical new ice worlds inhabited by the most extraordinary animal survivors on Earth.
S1·E2Spring
The sun returns after months of darkness, dynamically transforming the landscape. Millions of migrants join the hardy residents as they find mates and begin to breed.
S1·E3Summer
Summer creates a window of opportunity that attracts hordes of visitors who cram a lifetime of drama into a few short months as they feed, fight, and rear their young.
S1·E4Autumn
Polar landscapes are transformed as the big freeze returns. Most animals leave on epic journeys, some now battle to breed, and, for the hardy few, it’s a time of opportunity.
S1·E5Winter
During winter most animals abandon the polar regions, but a few extreme survivors remain. This is the story of their strategies and battles to survive the planet’s harshest weather.
S1·E6The Last Frontier
Humans have no natural protection against the cold of the polar regions. Why, therefore, have we been visiting these remote places for thousands of years; and what keeps us going back today?
S1·E7On Thin Ice
A look at how scientists measure changes in the polar regions and what those changes mean for the animals and people who live there, as well as the rest of the planet.
