Antarctica is the wildest coldest most isolated continent on Earth. Encrusted in 90% of the world's ice its 5.4 million square miles are doubled each winter by the freezing of the seas. The average temperature at the South Pole is -56 dropping to -90 and below in mid-winter. Yet this inhospitable landscape is home to a surprisingly rich variety of wildlife. Natural history guru David Attenborough and his camera team spent three years braving mountainous seas blizzards with 100 mph winds plummeting temperatures and glaciers the size of cathedrals to capture the majesty of Antarctica both on land and underwater. In this starkly beautiful landscape they discover penguins by the millions whales by thethousands half the world's seal population and seabirds galore.Running Time: 174 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Life In The Freezer Comment: Consistent with BBC's quality this is a fascinating study. The camera work is great though not as good as Planet Earth. Customer Rating: Summary: The Remarkable Penguin Comment: Life in the Freezer is the right title for this wonderfully filmed view of a remarkable creature. The viewer shivers as talented and dedicated photographers capture an amazing land of frozen waters and glaciers. Customer Rating: Summary: The definitive Antarctica doc Comment: This is the best doc on Antarctic wildlife ever done. Every mammal & bird are covered in detail along with their diets. The photography is excellent, though the detail is not up to Planet Earth standards (we've become a bit spoiled with HD)... but then this was filmed in the 90's. In its day it was totally state of the art, and remains so for content. Customer Rating: Summary: Much like "March of the Penguins" Comment: If you liked "March of the Penguins" you should like this as well. Broader coverage than just Emperor Penguins. Customer Rating: Summary: Absolutely Stunning Comment: A real treat for the eyes.
Too bad, I didn't buy it in HD DVD format.
There is a lot of aerial coverage, I would like a bit more ground coverage.
There is only 1 chapter on penguins. the cover is misleading, it should show other life forms as well.
The narrator could be more convincing but where else you would find someone with a degree in nature science, willing to go to south pole and be exceptionally good at communicating thoughts.
