Planet Earth
The Planet Earth is a BBC nature documentary series narrated by David Attenborough, looking at a global overview of different habitats on Earth. The series consists of eleven episodes which cover various different types of wildlife habitats on our planet such as mountains, caves, deserts, and the polar regions.
Episode 01 - From Pole to Pole. This episode illustrates a 'journey' around the globe and reveals the effect of gradual climatic change and seasonal transitions en route. During Antarctica's winter, emperor penguins endure four months of darkness, with no food, in temperatures of -70 degrees Celsius
(-94 degrees Fahrenheit). Meanwhile, as spring arrives in the Arctic, polar bear cubs take their first steps into a world of rapidly thawing ice. In northern Canada, the longest overland migration of any animal - over 3,200 kilometres (2,000 mi) - is that of three million caribou, which are hunted by wolves,
and one such pursuit is shown. (from wikipedia.org)
