No place on earth has the power to impress like Antarctica. It is colder, wilder, more desolate than any other continent and no one who goes there can fail to be moved. It is also a place of extremes; during its brief summer, millions of penguins and other birds crowd its shores to breed and whales come to gorge themselves on the explosion of life. For the rest of the year the most appalling conditions imaginable scour the icy wasteland.

Combining beautiful wildlife photography with the thoughts and writings of early explorers, this programme captures the essence of Antarctica.
