Under Antarctic Ice
Video: Full Episode

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. Buy the DVD. This film premiered January 12, 2003.

    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 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

  15. Gene says:

    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.

  16. Soung-Chul says:

    I’m speechless. It’s stunning & wonderful.
    I’ve never known that the Antarctic ecosystem has these diverse creatures.

  17. Holli says:

  24. Brenda says:

    I love every episode that pbs has. Very intresting!!!

  25. Robert says:

    This episode was pretty good. I think that if theres ever such a thing as getting a education from watching thirty plus years of your shows then that would be me. I think this is more of a behind the episodes then anything. As far as learning goes not much in that department but it was still a very fun video.

  26. dakota says:

    this is my favorite!! awesome!!

  27. yessie says:

    i have learned so much by watching your shows they are very interesting. i hope we can learn more by your shows

  28. gary e. morin says:

    What a great film, thank-you!!!

  29. MCE says:

    This video is AMAZING!! The pictures are soo stunning and incredible! I would love to see it in person although I think I would be scared to go scuba diving haha. Also I hope Dale is ok and eventually recovered so he can go scuba diving again.

  30. kimba ozag says:

    Awesome presentation, thank you!!

  31. MP3 says:

    I cannot view this video due to rights restrictions. You’d think me living in the southern hemisphere would afford me the right of viewing the south pole.

    ridiculous…. Thanks for nothing.

  32. skubaduk says:

    I can’t wait for the ice to melt and the ocean to warm up to about 85 degrees. I love diving in warm clear water.

  33. MStevenson says:

    wish I could have watched it! I’m in Canada and all I get is garbage about rights restrictions….
