Product Description:
The Blue Planet the definitive exploration of the Earth's final frontier is now over. From the deep to the shore from pole to pole it revealed extraordinary life and behaviour that had never before been filmed. In some cases the species were only recently known to scientists. Programme 1 - Introduction 'Our planet is a blue planet' says David Attenborough. 'Over 70 per cent of it is covered by the sea and the Pacific Ocean alone covers half the globe.' The oceans dominate the world's weather systems and support an enormous variety of life from the largest animal that has ever lived on Earth the blue whale to the tiniest plankton. Programme 2 - Frozen Seas For most of the year both poles are dark and bitterly cold. But there is still life at both ends of the Earth. Antarctica is a continent a land mass in its own right surrounded by ice where stubborn emperor penguins winter in temperatures below -50 degrees Celsius. The Arctic is a frozen sea surrounded by land and here the polar bear rules - no seal whale or bird is safe.Running Time: 135 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/NATURE & WILDLIFE UPC: 794051161420 Manufacturer No: E1614

Extraordinary footage and eloquent narration by David Attenborough highlight these two segments of the BBC's remarkable wildlife series, The Blue Planet: Seas of Life. 'Ocean World' begins with astonishing views of a gigantic blue whale--the elusive Holy Grail of undersea photography--and the marvels continue to demonstrate the power, diversity, and profound ecological influence of Earth's oceans. From the surface feedings of dolphins to the pitch- black environs of deep-sea predators rarely glimpsed by humans, the oceans are seen as living entities teeming with nutrients and rejuvenating currents essential to all life on earth. This marvelous portrait of the food chain--from plankton to sharks to killer whales--continues in 'Frozen Seas,' examining whales, walruses, penguins, and other creatures under the extreme conditions of the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Blue Planet: Seas of Life is one of the finest wildlife programs you're ever likely to see. --Jeff Shannon
