A STUNNING THREE-PART SERIES! An adventurous team of Canadian scientists and filmmakers sailed south to Antarctica aboard the majestic 54-metre ship SEDNA IV. Their daring mission: to document the most important environmental challenge facing our planet - climate change. The team braved some of the Earth's roughest and coldest seas, as well as the long, dark Antarctic winter, to bear witness to the changes wrought on one of the most rapidly warming places on the planet - the Antarctic Peninsula. Meet the scientists working in the world's remotest living laboratory and the amazing creatures that evolved to live in one of the planet's most inhospitable ecosystems. Episode 1: in ISLANDS AT THE EDGE, the team follows the same route as the early explorers, battling storms and dodging huge icebergs, to visit one of the Earth?s most spectacular gatherings of wildlife: grumpy fur seals, feisty penguins and mythical albatross. Episode 2: in A WINDOW ON A CHANGING WORLD, the often subtle and unexpected impacts of our changing climate are revealed. Episode 3: in THE GREAT OCEAN OF ICE, discover the cold and mysterious world hidden beneath SEDNA's hull: home to some of the toughest and most unusual creatures on the planet: giant ribbon worms, dragon fish and ancient sponges.-----Une narration de Pierre Therrien.
