Edge of the Blizzard
1: Kings of the Sea and the Air
Two thousand kilometres south of Australia, Macquarie Island lies isolated in the stormy Southern Ocean, a life-raft for millions of penguins, seals and albatrosses which come ashore to breed.
One of the spectacular inhabitants of this bustling animal metropolis is the king penguin, which was once boiled down for its oil in giant pressure cookers. Now protected, these birds crowd Macquarie's beaches, living in a carefully-ordered society in which giant petrels, great skuas and feral cats have a vital role to play. Narrator JOHN HEDGES
Produced for AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION by DAVID PARER
BBCtv presentation by KEENAN SMART BBC Bristol. (Part 2 tomorrow 6.45 pm)
