The Bountiful Sea
A natural history of Antarctica presented by David Attenborough. Looks at how the abundant wildlife survives some of the hardest conditions on the planet.
With winter temperatures of -70C and winds of 100mph, only a few hundred people live in this inhospitable continent that is one and a half times the size of Europe. The wildlife, however, is abundant - millions of penguins, thousands of whales and half the world's seals somehow survive some of the hardest conditions on the planet.
