“If sea levels rise as predicted, more than 150 million people could be displaced from coastal areas by 2050. And by 2070, cities like Miami, New York, Shanghai and Mumbai will be at risk of severe flooding.”

This is one of the sad conclusions reached by the research scientists who filmed the new documentary series. BBC, “frozen planet II». After amazing frozen planet – wherein SKY It was co-producer and aired in 2013. BBC comes back with him new circle a series. Frozen Planet 2 comes to his screen SKYV First television broadcast and over the course of 5 episodes, viewers will have the opportunity to “live the miracle” of the frozen kingdoms of our planet, standing on the brink of climate change.

Frozen Planet II, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, returns to the Arctic and Antarctic to observe the amazing species that thrive there. Moving beyond the first cycle of the series, the new episodes explore the wilderness of the world’s coldest regions: high mountains, frozen deserts, snowy forests and frozen oceans. The places are so demanding for survival that only a heroic group of animals can live here. Polar bears, penguins, snow monkeys, Siberian tigers: each species must overcome special challenges in order to survive in these extreme conditions.

Frozen Planet II was produced by the world-renowned natural history department of BBC Studios, co-produced by BBC America, Open University, Migu Video, ZDF and France Televisions. The series included more than 2000 days of field shooting over three years in 18 different countries, on every continent, in Antarctica and in space. With the help of the most modern cameras, the series is filmed in ultra-high definition, offering viewers stunning images. Camila Cabello and Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer have teamed up to record a song from the series Take Me Home.

Scientists are sounding the alarm about the ongoing climate crisis and its serious consequences for humanity, wildlife and the planet. “frozen planet II» highlights just a few of them.

The first episode of the series takes us to the coldest corners of the planet to explain why the temperature is so low and how the animals living there manage to survive. In Antarctica we will meet emperor penguins and intelligent killer whales, and in the steppes of Mongolia we will meet the loneliest mountain wild cat. Further north of the steppe, in the largest forest on earth, we will meet a giant Amur tiger. The journey will end in the far north of the Arctic, home to polar bears and the most unusual seals on the planet.

The journey continues out to sea to meet animals that survive under and under the ice of the Arctic Ocean. Here, in the dead of winter, polar bears eat their fill and can spend their time playing. Spring has its challenges as the ice begins to melt and summer brings with it many visitors who come from the depths of the ocean to feed and breed.

In this episode we travel to the highest peaks of the planet. Each of these frozen “islands in the sky” is home to a separate ecosystem with its own rules for survival. Thanks to special BBC cameras, we will literally “plunge” into an avalanche. In Japan we will see macaques that manage to literally live in the snow, and in New Zealand we will meet an intelligent parrot that uses the dangers of the mountains to its advantage.

We travel to the most inhospitable environment on the planet, Antarctica: an entire continent covered in ice and snow. Here, most animals spend their entire lives on the coast. In some cases, they manage to create huge populations, as, for example, with the king penguins of South Georgia Island. In others, as in the case of the albatross, the loneliness and absence of female birds leads to the creation of pairs consisting of only males. As we move inland, the landscape looks more and more deserted. Beneath the surface of the ice, however, lies a whole hidden world of mountain ranges, volcanoes, deserts, and even underground freshwater lakes. The surprises of Antarctica never end.

We return north to tour the largest terrestrial habitat on earth, the taiga and tundra. Here the rules of survival are written by the change of seasons. The winter is so severe that the wolves are forced to form superpacks of 25 to deal with the only prey available this season: the huge buffalo. As spring transforms the landscape, baby turtles that have been waiting for months for temperatures to rise are waking up from hibernation and “coming back” to life. Summer brings the effects of climate change back into focus as areas that have always been covered in ice are now “melting” for the first time.

It is clear that the “frozen realms” of the planet are changing at a faster rate today than ever before. In the final episode of the series, we will meet people who have dedicated their lives to studying these changes and their consequences. From their own point of view, we will understand how profoundly these changes affect not only the people and animals living in specific areas, but life throughout our planet.
