Penguins, polar bears and amazing overhead photography can only mean one thing: the second season of the documentary Frozen Planet is finally here!
In this follow-up to 2011's Frozen Planet, the new six-part series called Frozen Planet Ⅱ revisits the Arctic and Antarctica. It also gives a view into the secret wildlife dramas that play out in all the world's coldest areas, such as high mountains and frozen deserts.
It took the team over three years to make videos of Siberian tigers in Russia walking over great distances to hunt for black bears. In China's Wolong National Nature Reserve, the team brought to light giant pandas doing handstands to mark their scent.
While there are lighter moments, the ever-changing frozen planet is a central theme of the documentary. The series' executive producer points out that Frozen Planet Ⅱ is not just about capturing nice footage, but also drawing attention to changes going on now.
The series shows the great challenges caused by climate change that many polar animals now face. For example, pups of harp seals in the Arctic Ocean rely on sea ice for the first six weeks of life. However, the sea ice of today melts and breaks up sooner in spring. As a result, groups of seal pups fall off the ice into the ocean before they have learned how to swim. Meanwhile, chin strap penguin chicks use their fur to stay warm. Due to a warming Antarctica, however, more rainy days have led to them suffering from hypothermia.
Despite this, Frozen Planet Ⅱ tells us that there is still hope. Professor Alun Hubbard is a scientist from Norway. He has spent over 30 years studying the movement of ice along Greenland's coastline. Although there has been much more ice melting there over the last 20 years, he believes that all these processes can still be turned back.
"Consume less... think more sensibly about the journeys we take and the food we eat. Figure out a lifestyle that is sustainable," he warns us.

《冰冻星球Ⅱ》是一档纪录片，该纪录片于2022年9月11日在英国首播。该片记录了世界上最严寒地区的野生动物，揭示了人类面临的危机。
企鹅、北极熊和令人惊叹的俯拍镜头只能意味着一件事：纪录片《冰冻星球》的第二季终于来了！
作为2011年《冰冻星球》的续作，这部名为《冰冻星球Ⅱ》的新系列纪录片分为六集，它将带我们再次领略北极和南极的风光。它还让我们得以一窥在世界上所有最寒冷地区（如高山和冰冻沙漠）上演的野生动物的隐秘故事。
拍摄团队花了三年多的时间，才拍到俄罗斯的西伯利亚虎长途跋涉去捕猎黑熊的画面。在中国的卧龙国家级自然保护区，拍摄团队拍到了大熊猫通过倒立来标记气味的场景。
尽管有一些轻松的片段，但不断变化的冰冻星球是这部纪录片的核心主题。该系列的执行制片人指出，《冰冻星球Ⅱ》不仅仅是为了捕捉美妙的镜头，也是为了引起人们对当下正在发生的变化的关注。
该系列展示了许多极地动物如今因气候变化而面临的巨大挑战。例如，北冰洋里的竖琴海豹幼崽在出生后的前六周依赖海冰生存。然而，如今的海冰在春天融化和破裂得更早。结果，一群群的海豹幼崽还没学会游泳就从冰上掉进了海里。与此同时，帽带企鹅幼崽靠它们的绒毛保暖。然而，由于南极洲变暖，降雨天数增多，导致它们患上了低温症。
尽管如此，《冰冻星球Ⅱ》告诉我们，仍然有希望。阿伦·哈伯德教授是一位来自挪威的科学家。他花了30多年的时间研究格陵兰岛海岸沿线的冰的运动。尽管在过去的20年里，那里的冰融化得更多了，但他相信所有这些过程仍然可以逆转。
“少消费……更理智地考虑我们的出行和饮食。找到一种可持续的生活方式，”他告诫我们。
