Arctic: Our Frozen Planet

At the very top of the planet lies a spectacular, frozen realm. But don’t be fooled by appearances: this place is not frozen in time. It’s a dynamic ecosystem and for thousands of years, its indigenous people and wildlife have found ways to survive and live in harmony with these extremes.

Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, Arctic: Our Frozen Planet takes guests on an epic, yearlong adventure across the seasons and three continents. Be immersed in the astounding world of narwhals, belugas and polar bears as they navigate ice floes. Hear the thunderous sound of stampeding caribou and muskox trying to escape hungry wolves. Be entertained by enormous and noisy walruses and amazed by the ice-covered bumblebees that emerge glorious from their winter lairs.

As the planet’s climate is experiencing rapid changes, so is the Arctic. But the changes here are happening faster and more dramatically than anywhere else. Can it keep pace?

Arctic: Our Frozen Planet was produced by BBC Earth and distributed by SK Films.
