African herds migrating hundreds of miles in search of water to
desperate animal hunts, Pole to Pole examines how the seasons produce
the greatest spectacles on Earth.
Mountains

inhabit them. From a never-before-seen hunt by snow leopards on the
treacherous slopes of the Himalayas to a family of pumas struggling to
survive the unstable weather of the Andes, Mountains reveals life on
the planet's highest peaks.
Deep Ocean
Explore
the depths of the planet's oceans and discover some of this mysterious
world's most spectacular species. From light shows performed by squids
to the blue whale, the largest animal to ever exist, Deep Ocean
investigates the waters that cover two-thirds of the Earth's surface
yet remain largely unknown.
Deserts
Voyage
to the world's harshest environments and learn how life manages to keep
a precarious hold in every desert. From the llama-like guanacos of
Chile's Atacama Desert that survive by licking dew from cactus spines
to lions that scour arid Namibia for antelopes, Deserts unravels the
secrets behind survival in unimaginable conditions.
Ice Worlds
Venture
to the poles of our planet and find the harshest wild lands, where
seasonal change is extreme. From emperor penguins which defy the
coldest conditions on Earth to the polar bear that emerges from
hibernation with her new cubs, Ice Worlds explores an ecosystem in
which few could survive.
Shallow Sea
Dive
into the planet's shallow waters where sunlight reaches the seabed and
find an explosion of life. From the rarely seen cooperation between
snakes and fish hunting for food to the journey of a humpback whale and
her newborn calf traveling thousands of miles in search of food,
Shallow Seas explores the rarely seen sights of the world's mighty
oceans.
Great Plains
Trek
to the Earth's largest land habitats, where vast open spaces play host
to the biggest groups of animals in the world. From the 2,000 mile
migration undertaken by three million caribou in the Arctic tundra to a
pride of 30 starving lions hunting elephants, Great Plains reveals the
most impressive migrations and boldest hunts on the planet.
Jungles
Delve
deep into this ecosystem, beyond the flourishing plant life, and find
an environment that tests each animal's survival skills. From the
elaborate mating rituals of New Guinea's birds of paradise to the
territorial battles of chimpanzees, Jungles examines an environment
that occupies only three percent of the planet and yet is home to more
than half the world's species.
Fresh Water
Follow
rivers as they course from mountain to the sea, nourishing unique and
dramatic wildlife. From the world's deepest lake inhabited by the only
species of freshwater seal to a stunning look at the world's highest
waterfall, Fresh Water offers a unique perspective on the secret lives
teeming in our purest waters.
Seasonal Forests
Investigate
these temperate regions and find some of the most elusive creatures and
well-adapted plant life on Earth. From the giant sequoia tree ten times
the size of a blue whale to the trackless Siberian forests where just
40 Amur leopards remain, Forests brings to life a seemingly familiar
world that remains largely unexplored.
Caves
Descend
into the only habitat not directly driven by sunlight to discover some
of the most peculiar creatures on Earth. From Borneo's Deer Cave where
