Our world is covered in snow, frozen in ice, and one-fifth of it is frozen. These remaining true wildernesses have rarely been explored by humans and are so inhospitable to life that only a valiant cast of animals can survive there. And it's a world that is vanishing right in front of our eyes. From the Arctic Ocean to the snowy boreal woods and plains of the north, from the high-altitude peaks and plateaus of our highlands to the ice-bound desert of Antarctica, Frozen Planet II celebrates the unexpectedly various worlds of ice.Using groundbreaking new technologies, the book tells previously undiscovered stories, from chameleons giving birth on the frosty slopes of Mount Kenya to endangered Amur leopards in the Russian forest and orcas hunting harp seals on ice floes in the Antarctic. Behind-the-scenes insights explore the unique challenges of filming in these frozen worlds, where camera crew and wildlife alike brave the extreme conditions. With over 250 stunning full-colour photographs, including behind-the-scenes images from the making of the landmark series, Frozen Planet II reveals the wonders of the fastest-changing part of our planet, as we will never see them again.
