5 out of 5 stars A must watch if you are going to go to Antarctica   November 6, 2006
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Great summary of all the areas most people visit when they go to Antarctica. Deception island was quite interesting, looked a lot different then what I imagined compared to what I thought it would compared to what I've read in travel guides.br /br /Some amazing footage, including footage in the water with leopard seals!br /br /br /


5 out of 5 stars Stunning masterpiece   December 18, 2005
  16 out of 17 found this review helpful

I know the March of the Penguins is getting a lot of press lately and there is some stunning cinematography in that piece but anyone who liked that will be blown away by Life in the Freezer. Having marvelled at it a first time, I was actually drawn back to watch the entire series several times. Attenborough is his usual fabulous, inobtrusive gentleman who hooks you in. Everything from March of Penguins I knew already from Life in the Freezer but there is sooooo much more here about so many animals. The antartic is teaming with life and this DVD set is just an amazing discovery.pDon't miss this one.


4 out of 5 stars "Small but perfectly formed"   March 4, 2004
  44 out of 46 found this review helpful

I've always been fascinated with the Antarctic- I watched this religiously when it first came out it must have made it's mark as many of the scenes I remembered after 10 years.pThere are some incredible moments- the life and death of creatures who's whole lives seem to consist of nothing but hardship, huge mountain ranges untrod by human footsteps and the driest place on earth; where the only living things are algae in the rocks.pIt's not an epic like the other Attenborough titles- the episodes are 1/2 hour or so long but what it seems to do is cover a bit of everything.pNot such a bad thing when you consider there really isn't that much there:pbirds (mostly penguins)brkrill (lots of)brwhales (not enough of)brseals (can be nasty)bralgae (a bit dull)brman (can also be nasty)pVery well put together with breathtaking camerawork this is well worth having and watching again again.pMy favorite bit of all is the Emperor Penguin, standing in a screaming blizzard for months, in darkness, huddled together in the middle of the continent, incubating his solitary egg and waiting for his partner to return so he can then walk 100 miles to the ice edge to eat himself.pBrilliant.


5 out of 5 stars Let nature be your teacher.   May 8, 2003

Amazing. Sir David Attenborough's contribution to our understanding and appreciation of the natural world cannot be surpassed. As an Englishman in America - life in a cultural freezer you might say - I have really come to appreciate the quality of BBC programming and here it is epitomised. pThe photography (BAFTA award winning) is superb and the narration is exactly what you would expect from Sir Attenborough, humourous, informative, and accessible to all ages. I can thoroughly recommend not only this title but all of Sir Attenborough's programs, from Blue Planet to Life of Mammals - They will be a much valued part of your DVD collection for years to come.
