David Attenborough presents a natural history of Antarctica. It's summer in Antarctica, and with 24-hour daylight the race to breed is on as two million fur seals crowd the beaches of South Georgia. When the pups are born, ferocious bulls attack any intruders who challenge their females. Meanwhile, Chinstrap penguins cross glacial streams and climb near vertical cliffs to feed their chicks as formidable leopard seals lurk nearby.
7:30pmLife in The Freezer
Sir David Attenborough's frost-bitten history of Antarctica moves on to autumn where harsh seas batter the islands of Antarctica, leaving penguins to struggle ashore to feed their young. Amidst the wild landscape, leopard seals pounce at unsuspecting fledglings, fur seal pups take their first swim, and young wandering albatrosses rehearse their amazing courtship dance.
8:00pmLife in The Freezer
Sir David Attenborough continues his natural history of Earth's most unforgiving continent - Antarctica. During the winter, conditions are so extreme that most animal life deserts the region. The few exceptions include emperor penguins, which huddle together as storms rage, and Weddell seals, which maintain holes in the ice for access to an underwater world where fish survive by having natural antifreeze in their blood.
8:30pmLife in The Freezer
The series ends with a recollection of the epic journeys that have been made in the quest to explore Antarctica. From Captain Scott's hut, David Attenborough relates the history of the great struggles to be the first to reach the South Pole. Incredibly, progress has been such that some people now live there permanently - scientists and support staff work in temperatures of minus 70 and live through weeks of total darkness.

0:00amLife in The Freezer
David Attenborough moves south with a fascinating series on the natural history of a notoriously hostile continent - Antarctica. With winter temperatures of minus 70 degrees centigrade and winds of 100mph, only a few hundred people live in this inhospitable environment. The wildlife, however, is abundant - millions of penguins, thousands of whales and half the world's seals somehow survive the hardest conditions on the planet.
0:30amLife in The Freezer
David Attenborough continues observing life in the big freeze of Antarctica. In the spring, the thaw begins and animals like the humpback whale and the crabeater seal follow the retreating ice.
