Water and ice. All life here depends on them. Join sir David Attenborough for a fascinating exploration of these frigid waters in which humpback whales, penguins, seals and other wildlife thrive. As seasons change, the seas are transformed dramatically. In the brief polar summer, the ocean offers up a bountiful food supply of krill, a small crustacean that is actually the most numerous animal on Earth. In the late summer, storms create some of the most turbulent surf in the world. With the coming of winter, the ocean freezes and wildlife is forced out as a ring of ice hundreds of miles wide encircles the continent, doubling its size. Journey to this icebound wilderness, larger than Europe, that rests On The Frozen Sea.
