Antarctica. On the surface, it’s the bleakest of lands, with ferocious winds, flightless birds, and enough ice to flood half the planet’s population if it were to melt. But below that frozen mass, a fantastic environment of indescribable beauty teems with life. NATURE takes viewers into the world that is Under Antarctic Ice.

Very good programs ! Love its !!!
love the program, feel like I am a part of the action!
:)
love it as well i do fell as if iam there thank you and my children will thank u keep the great work
For a program called “nature” there’s not much nature in it. It seems to me that the documentary is focused more on the researchers than nature. It should be called “people in nature”
i love all of your shows there should be more of them on the air.they are intresting as well as educational
I couldn’t seem to find the shot that’s the thumbnail for this video in the “Watch Full Episodes” page, that (jellyfish?) looks quite stunning..
beautiful, thanks & congratulations
I really love your programs…I just would love to see more animals, but the show was great. I do not have the opportunity to travel but I just imagine myself in those beautiful and inaccesibles places…thanks!!!
Through your shows and many others like it, I can easily say Nature is the only true life on earth. And the only true life that will survive our human behavior.
Makes me yearn for the old Nature of George Page, when nature was much more the focus. This film had an amateurish quality, and far too much time was spent on mundane scenes of interaction among humans.
Its sad to see such an outstanding nature show slip so far from the George Page days. Thus used to be the only nature program that rivaled the wonderful programs produced by the BBC.
This program is one of the few that inspire me
Another fine program; in a word, spellbinding.
It was insinuated that Dale Stokes’ unfortunate decompression sickness would prevent him from diving again. I hope this is not the case.
I’m speechless. It’s stunning & wonderful.
I’ve never known that the Antarctic ecosystem has these diverse creatures.
I thoroughly enjoyed this! Awesome!
