Frozen Planet II

£28.00

Find a world of wonder beneath the ice. One quarter of our planet is frozen, locked in ice and blanketed with snow. These are the last true wildernesses – so hostile to man that they have barely been explored, so challenging for survival that only a heroic cast of animals can live here. And it’s a world that is disappearing before our very eyes. ‘Frozen Planet II’ celebrates the surprisingly diverse worlds of ice, from the ocean of the Arctic to the snowy boreal forests and plains of the north, from the high-altitude peaks and plateaus of our mountains to the ice-locked desert of Antarctica. Using groundbreaking new technologies, the book tells previously undiscovered stories, from chameleons giving birth on the frosty slopes of Mount Kenya to endangered Amur leopards in the Russian forest and orcas hunting harp seals on ice floes in the Antarctic.

Description

ACCOMPANIES THE LANDMARK SERIES NARRATED BY DAVID ATTENBOROUGH

Find a world of wonder beyond the ice.

Looking down at our planet from space it may come as a surprise how much of it is blanketed in snow and ice. These vast frozen wildernesses cover more than a fifth of the earth … From the highest peaks to snow-bound deserts to alien worlds deep beneath the ice, they are home to an astonishing array of animals found nowhere else on earth.’
David Attenborough, from the series.

Frozen Planet II celebrates the surprisingly diverse worlds of ice – a world that is disappearing before our very eyes. Previously undiscovered stories, from chameleons giving birth on the frosty slopes of Mount Kenya to endangered Amur leopards in the Russian forest and killer whales hunting Weddell seals on ice floes in the Antarctic, shed new light on the beauty and the peril of the world’s most fragile ecosystems. Behind-the-scenes insights explore the unique challenges of filming in these frozen worlds, where camera crew and wildlife alike brave the extreme conditions.

With over 250 stunning full-colour photographs, Frozen Planet II reveals the wonders of the fastest-changing part of our planet, as we may never see them again.
