EPISODES CHRONICLE THE MYSTERIES OF THE DEEP, THE INTRIGUES OF COASTAL SEA MAMMALS; INVESTIGATE TIDAL AND CLIMATIC INFLUENCES, AND DEPICT THE CREATURES AND SYSTEMS THAT REVOLVE AROUND OUR BLUE PLANET. DISC ONE: frozen seas Animals living in and out of the water face their greatest challenge in the crippling polar winters. Polar bears hunt on the frozen Arctic Sea. Antarctica is the coldest place on earth, but Emperor Penguins live here year round. Breathtaking, rare footage shows how animals survive in these hostile environments. coral seas A coral reef is one of the most stunning sights on earth; a riot of color, teeming with fish. But this seeming tropical paradise is a Darwinian battleground where every species is locked in a daily life and death struggle, including the coral itself. DISC TWO: open ocean The open ocean is a vast expanse of liquid space covering two thirds of our planet. This blue wilderness can seem like an empty desert, but here the ocean's fiercest, fastest and most ruthless predators stalk their prey over immense distances. the deep Two-thirds of the Earth is covered in water, but we've only explored about one percent of the ocean floor. With the help of space-age submersibles, take a spectacular journey to previously unreachable depths. DISC THREE: tidal seas Tides govern marine life. Tidal marshes are one of the most productive parts of the world. Numerous plants support numerous animals, yet life is not easy: predators are attracted to these enormous quantities of food, forcing animals to seek protection. coasts The boundary between land and sea is an exciting place, with animals constantly coming and going. From the open oceans, millions of seabirds are forced to come onto land to breed. Sea eagles steal kittiwake chicks from their nesting ledges. DISC FOUR: seasonal seas Shafts of sunlight radiate through a green sea. This blazing light is the vital source of energy used by the countless billions of plankton which grow every spring and summer in the world's temperate sea, the richest of all habitats. ocean world The oceans are an integral part of the Earth's life cycle, influencing weather systems and supporting an enormous range of life. Explore the sheer scale, power and complexity of the mysterious oceans that govern this blue planet.
