It is a land full of mystery, and yet what happens here affects every single one of us. With never-before-seen footage, our story takes viewers to the most remote corners of this wild and majestic continent. Antarctica is the coldest, driest and windiest place on Earth, with the roughest oceans – and yet strange and wonderful creatures thrive here in amazing abundance.

Dive beneath the more than three-metre-thick sea ice using the latest underwater filming technology and experience the alien world of the seabed – thousands of purple sea stars escaping the growing ice and ornate jellyfish performing a deadly dance. Swim alongside playful seals, climb over mountain peaks and vast penguin colonies, and witness the largest gathering of fin and humpback whales ever filmed.
