Download BBC: Frozen Planet (2011) - The Complete Series Collection with Special Episode 1080p BDRip

Lest we forget, there are places on this planet we haven't fully explored, extreme conditions we aren't equipped to survive, species that haven't been thoroughly studied or even discovered, animal behaviors we haven't deciphered, ecosystems and changes that aren't entirely understood, and countless other things that will remain the mysteries they are for generations to come. And it's these same mysteries and undiscovered frontiers that make each BBC Earth documentary series as fascinating as the last. Earth and its wonders are truly inexhaustible, and that daunting fact drives the BBC Natural History Unit to push farther, dig deeper, tackle even greater challenges, and deliver more astonishing footage with each passing production. Frozen Planet doesn't depart from the now six-year-old Planet Earth formula.

Animals highlighted in this episode include the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), the Short-tailed Shearwater (Puffinus tenuirostris), the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), the caribou (Rangifer tarandus), the gray wolf (Canis lupus) hunting for American bison (Bison bison), the Great Grey Owl (Strix nebulosa), the Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua), the South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens), the killer whale (Orcinus orca) hunting for crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophagus) and Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii), a species of icefish (suborder Notothenioidei), and a species of sea spider (order Pantopoda).

2. "Spring"

This episode follows the polar spring: the ice melts and migratory animals move to the polar regions. Most animals give birth to their offspring. Animals highlighted in this episode include the Adélie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae), the polar bear (Ursus maritimus) hunting for ringed seal (Pusa hispida), the narwhal (Monodon monoceros), a species of sea gooseberry (phylum Ctenophora), a species of sea slug, a species of sea snail, the 'Arctic cod' (could be Arctogadus glacialis or Boreogadus saida), the Arctic Woolly Bear Moth (Gynaephora groenlandica), the arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos), the King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus), the Macaroni Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus), the Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans), the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina), and the killer whale (Orcinus orca).

3. "Summer"

This episode follows the short polar summer: the sun doesn't set for months and the ice is largely gone. Animals highlighted in this episode include the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), the Red Phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius), the Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea), the Common Eider (Somateria mollissima), the Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus), the Lapland Bunting (Calcarius lapponicus), the arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos) hunting for muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus), the King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus), the Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella), the crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophagus), the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), the Antarctic minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) being hunted by killer whales (Orcinus orca), and the Adélie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) being hunted by South Polar Skua (Stercorarius maccormicki).

4. "Autumn"

This episode follows the polar autumn: temperatures are dropping, seas are freezing, and arctic animals migrate south away from the expanding ice. Animals highlighted in this episode include the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), the beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas), the Brünnich's Guillemot (Uria lomvia) being hunted by arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus), the muskox (Ovibos moschatus), the caribou (Rangifer tarandus), the Southern Giant Petrel (Macronectes giganteus), the South Georgia Pintail (Anas georgica georgica), the Adélie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) being hunted by leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx), and the Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri).

5. "Winter"

This episode follows the polar winter: the polar regions are scourged by extreme cold and strong winds. The snow spreads into the subarctic regions such as the taiga forests of the northern hemisphere. Animals highlighted in this episode include the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), the Spectacled Eider (Somateria fischeri), the Common Eider (Somateria mollissima), the gray wolf (Canis lupus) hunting for American bison (Bison bison), the wolverine (Gulo gulo), the Common Raven (Corvus corax), an unspecified vole (subfamily Arvicolinae) hunted by both the Great Grey Owl (Strix nebulosa) and the least weasel (Mustela nivalis), the Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri), the Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii), the bald notothen (Pagothenia borchgrevinki, called "Borchgrevinki fish" by David Attenborough), and the Adélie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae).

6. "The Last Frontier"

This episode explores human activity in the polar regions. In the north, Longyearbyen and Norilsk are among the coldest permanent settlements in the world. The Dolgan tribe of northern Russia are dependent on reindeer while the Inuit of Chukotka risk their lives hunting for walruses and collecting guillemot eggs. Also, Special Forces defend the Danish claim to Greenland, and in Alaska rockets are used to study the spectaculair Aurora Borealis.

On Antarctica, there are no permanent human residents, but people visit the continent for various reasons. Tourists visit to see King Penguins, biologists use robot submarines to discover new life forms, geologists study the active volcano Mount Erebus and its unique caves, and astronomers use balloons to study cosmic rays. Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station is located exactly at the South Pole, it is named after the leaders of the first two expeditions to reach the Pole, Roald Amundsen (in 1911) and Robert Falcon Scott (in 1912).

7. "On Thin Ice"

This episode shows climate change, global warming, the melting of the ice caps and their consequences. Polar bears and Adélie Penguins lose their habitat and the Inuit people have to adapt as well.
