How the 'Finger of Death' descends upon the Antarctic ocean floor
In short: Explore the extreme seasonal shifts that transform our planet, from the abundance of summer to the lethal freezing temperatures that can reach the depths of the Antarctic ocean.
This film from the 'Earth's Great Seasons' series, narrated by Andrew Scott, examines the unique survival challenges posed by Earth's annual cycles. While the Antarctic ocean floor typically maintains a stable temperature of around minus two degrees, danger can descend from the icy surface.
The footage captures the dramatic transitions of the seasons: the frantic race for life in spring, the heat-driven struggles of summer, and the vital period of autumn where animals must breed and stock up before the return of winter.
