Frozen Planet II

A second series of the BBC's Frozen Planet will start on Sunday on BBC1 at 8pm, narrated as always by David Attenborough (subject to schedule change)

It is 11 years since the first series, although I thought it might have been longer. 

Our frozen planet has become a thawing planet in those 11 years, with worrying changes to the landscape, ice masses and sea ice coverage during that time.

This is the fastest changing region of the Earth as a result of climate change, even through around one fifth of the planet is covered in snow or ice.

The first episode opens in Antarctica.

We are likely to see South Georgia at some point I am sure.

The Education Pack that I wrote for the South Georgia Heritage Trust with Val Vannet is available to view from the link here.

As always with these series, there will be a free poster to order produced in association with the Open University, and experts such as Professor Mark Brandon have been involved in developing the series.

Here's the trailer:
