"Frozen Planet II," narrated by David Attenborough, explores wildlife in some of the coldest regions found in the world. Premiering eleven years after the original series, "Frozen Planet II" benefits from the considerable advances in camera technology since the original. Whether capturing microscopic cracks in ice under baby penguins' feet, or using light-weight drones to follow an avalanche running down a mountain, a new set of eclectic visuals emerge that celebrates the colder regions and warns of what is lost in the face of global warming.

Every segment reveals new behaviour — animal secrets that naturalists might never uncover by watching through binoculars in the wild, the Ray Mears way. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 09/23/2022
The tried and tested formula works a treat every time, unless, like me, you have trouble stomaching the carnage and emotional manipulation. Yes, that’s life and death, the images are stunning, so much hard work to get them, etc. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
