Mother polar bear with her two cubs

David Attenborough experiences summer as he continues his extraordinary journey across the magical ice worlds of the Arctic and Antarctic.

In summer the wildlife crams a lifetime of drama into this brief window of plenty – feeding, fighting and rearing their young.

It's a tough time for the polar bears as the cubs take their first swimming lesson. In the tundra a herd of musk oxen gallop to rescue a calf that's caught by a pair of Arctic wolves.

A huge colony of king penguins cope with an unlikely problem – heat. The adults go surfing while the chicks take a cooling mud bath. Nearby, a bull fur seal is prepared to fight to the death with a rival.

A minke whale is hunted among the ice floes by a family of killer whales in a relentless chase that lasts more than two hours and has never been filmed before.

Finally, in the Adélie penguins' colony the chicks need constant feeding and protection from piratical skuas.

Frozen Planet is co-produced with The Open University.
