Frozen Planet II

Each time I watch one of the BBC wildlife series, especially those narrated by Sir David Attenborough, I'm always blown away by the level of detail and camera angles the production of team achieve.

The latest series have just upped the game, an early sequence with Killer Whales is simply outstanding. Later footage of a bear attack and calves trying to survive, creates more tension and emotion than most Hollywood movies.

Its so important that various at risk species are documented and the general public are educated and informed about the world's wildlife. The BBC seem to have some of the best wildlife photography I've ever seen. Outstanding...!

This is so beautiful! As usual. The Filmography looks even more phenomenal Than ever! The music is spot on! And I can't wait for Planet Earth 3! Please get Dua Lipa or Taylor Swift to team up with Hans Zimmer for that one, Please please please!! These documentaries are so amazingly beautiful and wonderful! They are so magnificent majestic graceful glorious and super fun to watch! A lot more better than the modern movies and tv shows that so much people watch! More people needs to pay attention to these ASOME nature documentaries! Because we need to be educated on our planet more than ever before! And man Frozen plane 2 is action packed! And I LOVE IT! Brutal and so honest! That's how it's supposed to be! No sugarcoating nonsense! Keep up the good work BBC! And I love you! Sir David Attenborough!!!!

Documentary showing difficult conditions animal and plant world deals with in still frozen parts of planet. Their adaptations to this places in order to survive, beat the competition of other species who did not ventured that far. It is gruesome as all predatory food chain is. But not for indulgence, but basic survival. Completely different story from that humans developed. They are pointing at the root cause of the melting icebergs and acceleration of the changes, what they mean for these specialised animals. Even we humans can not adapt as quickly to the surges in heat and consequences of it. Technology is our tool of adaptation, but is also a cause of the emissions causing the warming up. We need to change the energy sources and our level of population growth and material demands. It is not a favour we do to those animals, it will become a necessity in less time we want to admit to self and others. COVID came rapidly, warnings were there for years to invest in better research and prevention. Climate change is happening for some time and accelerates every year with more devastating consequences. Yet, people who are relatively comfortable, watching their TV programmes, either feel helpless or became ignorant. It is not happening to them. No flood water destroying the house irreversibly, no land slides, no hunger, no waterborne diseases, loss of relatives in many milder parts of the world. The shocks are sadly in the most extreme environments, be it polar regions, or tropics, where isolated animals and human population struggles every day. I do not think the filmmakers are extreme or selling the soap opera of animal world. The storyline is made in the way people can connect and see themselves in lives of other species. Most people project their emotions. And it helps them to realise animals feel I is mostly hunger, pain, fear, but also some joy. They are fighting for their lives every day and it is getting harder, and more fatal, shortening lives for the individuals and whole populations due to rapid disappearance and alternations to the environment they were adapting for very long time.

Should we intervene? Yes, we need to reverse the first intervention and stop heating up the planet. Otherwise these series maybe one of the last documentaries showing these animals still in their natural environments.

This should be viewed by every person alive, esp in every type of school.

Cinematography is gorgeous at times, always lovely with good narration & updated facts by Sir David. New behaviors are filmed as wildlife that evolved for millennia in freezing ice worlds face steadily warming oceans & NO ice at all.

Anyone who believes mammals do not share human emotions have never seen harp seal pup relaxing with smile next to mother seal, then cry & show clear facial distress whenever she leaves, especially after the 12th day. The harp pup's look of utter abandonment after her last kiss of farewell, watching mother seal swim far away is as emotively clear as any human toddler's face, ncluding forlorn cries of loneliness. There's also young polar bears ice skating for fun, & playing with each other for days, being social & not living completely alone.

Absent ice or fast melting ice is devastating entire ecosystems causing snow wildlife to barely exist. Artic foxes, small & shy, are being bullied & over run by southern larger fox cousins who steal their food. Grizzly bears are eating artic wolves food/ newborn musks. Mother artic fox cannot provide for her young pups because artic birds refuse to breed @ usual sites. Polar bears are steadily drowning in ice free seas by hundreds yearly for past 20 years. Starving mother polar bears are leaving their cub(s) after 6 months instead of usual 18 - 24 months required for any polar bear cub to learn survival skills & mature into young adulthood.

This program focuses on how ICE on both polar regions are critical to planet's entire health & stable weather for humans. Heartbreaking are albatross, loyal mates for life spanning 50+ yrs, with largest wingspan in world, their 1 chick dying in nest bc of sudden violent killer storms, freezing winds over 125 mph with no parents to protect chicks. Same for emperor penguin chicks.

For those ppl still in denial, or complain "I don't need reminder ppl ruin nature" are missing the point. The series is highlighting that there's No TIME left to waste or wait for "another" to remedy this global issue.

This series was filmed in 2020, released in 2022 & reminds us that things have only gotten worse bc humanity as whole keeps wasting & consuming, focuses on short term greed, destroying only home we got, regardless of wealth One must witness these adverse changes bc most ppl feel insulated due to centralized A/C & heating.

These precious ICE ecosystems MUST exist for humanity to maintain its status quo / quality of life incl growing food.

Humans are top predators & control every part of this planet. It's our choice to cherish by change or apathetically discard by doing nil, dooming everyone.

This series is not only the frozen but It's still have a great meaning of the life and death. Even a how she should survive and how she could find another life it's difficult to let any other subject but PTC natural history is another level so wonderful life wonderful life so she should watch is legendary people who are great effort for camera for another level of enough quotes the high mountain.

Everybody say documentary film is very important for a human for for an artificial in the world lived but this could be real things we are find out and that's this she is so wonderful that so this is wonderful.
