Frozen Planet discovery

摘要

It took 4 years, 38 sled dogs, 12 reindeer, 28 helicopters, and 840 hours trapped in blizzards for dedicated (and resourceful) camera crews to film the epic new nature documentary Frozen Planet. This seven-part special showcases the ecosystems and inhabitants of Earth's most frigid climes with the same expansive, lush cinematography seen in Planet Earth and Life. All three are collaborations between the BBC and the Discovery Channel (not connected with DISCOVER magazine). With footage of frolicking polar bear cubs, mesmerizing time-lapse video of a frozen waterfall thawing in spring, and an up-close look at how rising temperatures are ravaging those environments, Frozen Planet has something for everyone-even those whose tastes run more to sitcoms than documentary. The ever-sonorous Alec Baldwin (30 Rock) narrates the American version of the show. Premieres March 18 at 8 p.m. on the Discovery Channel.
