Narrated by acclaimed naturalist Sir David Attenborough and featuring the incredible wildlife cinematography that made Planet Earth such a worldwide success, Frozen Planet has taken new technology to the most extreme and remote parts of our planet, capturing groundbreaking imagery above and below the ice. With the effects of global warming more evident in the Arctic and Antarctic than anywhere else on the planet, this could be the last time they are filmed in such detail, before they change forever.
