Antarctica is a mysterious continent. Remote, hostile, and virtually uninhabited. It is the coldest, driest and windiest place on earth, surrounded by the harshest oceans. Almost nothing can live in this place, yet strange and wonderful creatures thrive here in great numbers. And the most remarkable thing: what happens here affects us all.
BBC Earth used the latest filming techniques to film under the ice, which is almost two meters thick. There we see an incredible spectacle of thousands of starfish trying to avoid the growing ice, dancing jellyfish engaged in a dance of death and flamboyant slugs looking for love. We swim with playful seals, we soar above mountain peaks and vast penguin colonies, and we see the largest gathering of whales ever filmed. Things get busy in Antarctica and on the surrounding islands; obese elephant seals defend their harems, droll penguins search for their young in the colony of millions, and leopard seals show off their impressive hunting techniques.
The film is spoken in Dutch, but the original (English) version can be listened to via the app "Sennheiser MobileConnect" on your phone. Bring your own earplugs/headphones for this. You can find the app here in the Google Play Store or the Apple AppStore.
