Frozen Planet

Frozen Planet is a series that was co-produced by the BBC, Discover Channel, and The Open University.  It first premiered in the UK with episodes airing between October 26 and December 28, 2011.  Frozen Planet began premiering episodes in the United States on the Discovery Channel on March 18, 2012.

Frozen Planet features footage from both the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions.  The series focuses on the different seasons at both ends of the world as well as other natural history topics such as climate change.

The BBC Version of Frozen Planet is narrated by David Attenborough and the US version is mostly narrated by Alec Baldwin, although the seventh episode retains its narration by David Attenborough due to the controversy of it originally not being planned to air on the Discovery Channel.
