Frozen Planet- 7 episodes - starting Sunday, March 18, 2012   Discovery 
Canada

The team that produced the Emmy-winning ``Planet Earth'' series -- the BBC 
Natural History Unit and Discovery Channel -- combine forces once again for 
this sweeping seven-part documentary. Shot entirely in high-definition and 
featuring cutting-edge cinematography to capture undisturbed observations of 
animal behavior, ``Frozen Planet'' chronicles the ecosystems and animals of 
the Arctic and Antarctic, where the filmmakers spent more than 2,300 days in 
the field and 18 months at sea to record unprecedented footage. Episodes 
track the lives of polar bears, wolves, killer whales and penguins from the 
spring through the winter, and there is also a ``making of'' episode that 
details the challenges faced by the ``Frozen Planet'' team. The series is 
narrated by Alec Baldwin; the seventh episode -- a look at the effect global 
warming is having on not only the poles, but also the

1. "To the Ends of the Earth"
2. "Spring"
3. "Summer"
4. "Autumn"
5. "Winter"
6. "The Last Frontier" (humans in the Arctic and Antarctica)
7. "On thin ice" (David Attenborough's view on climate change in the Arctic 
and Antarctic.)

It is a must for all.  I was lucky to see two episodes on TV 5 (French 
Channel) last month and found it all very enjoyable.
