Quotes
David Attenborough - Presenter: At a time when it's possible for thirty people to stand on the top of Everest in one day, Antarctica still remains a remote, lonely and desolate continent. A place where it's possible to see the splendours and immensities of the natural world at its most dramatic and, what's more, to witness them almost exactly as they were, long, long before human beings ever arrived on the surface of this planet. Long may it remain so.

Edited into National Geographic Explorer: Antarctica: Life in the Freezer (1994)

Another superb wild-life documentary presented by Sir David Attenborough, featuring breathtaking nature footage from the Antarctic continent through a year's seasonal cycle.

Compared to picture postcard docs like "Deep Blue" or "Planet Earth" - which are quite good in themselves - the "Life" series has got a more thoughtful, intimate and instructive quality to it. And some moments in this extraordinary six-part installment belong to the most captivating scenes Attenborough has been involved in throughout his illustrious career. (Part five is particularly exciting.)

The last part feels slightly tacked on, though.
