Planet Earth Vol.1 From Pole to Pole
 

The biggest series the BBC's Natural History Unit has ever done.

From Pole to Pole introduces the ultimate portrait of our planet by looking at our planet as a whole and considering the key factors that have shaped its natural history. Without freshwater there is no life on the land, while the sun dominates the lives of all animals and plants on Earth and defines their habitats.

The most enchanting illustration of the sun's hold on life takes place in the Arctic spring. A mother polar bear emerges from her winter den followed by two tiny cubs. She has just two weeks to prepare them for a perilous journey across the frozen sea before it melts and they become stranded. During this critical period, Planet Earth captures the most intimate and complete picture of polar bear life ever filmed.

In the Kalahari Desert, an epic trek is undertaken by hundreds of elephants as they attempt to reach the Okavango Swamps.

In the oceans, Planet Earth slows down the leap of a great white shark as it captures a seal. One second of high octane action is slowed down forty times to reveal for the first time the power and technique of the oceans' master predator.

Using the latest technology, together with unrivalled access and experience, the BBC brings you a portrait of your planet as you've never seen it before.

The Thrill of the Chase - Filming Wild Dogs - Okavango Delta, Botswana

It was still dark when the helicopter took off and we were full of anticipation. This was the final morning of our 13 day aerial shoot to film African wild dogs hunting in the Okavango Delta.

The crew had struggled to get footage of these animals on the ground, and it was easy to see why. Tourist brochures describe the Okavango as the 'world's largest inland river delta'. Quite simply it was a swamp, and as the dogs chased prey from one island to the next, the ground team flailed in their wake, their vehicles getting stuck in fetid mud or aardvark holes.

As the sun climbed the dogs raced through the scrub attempting to flush out impala antelope, their favourite prey.

So far the impala had got the better of them. The dogs were running out of steam and we were running out of time.
