Emperor Penguins in Antarctica
In the second episode of the series, the BBC team set off to film Emperor penguins forming huge, protective huddles on the frozen wilds of Antarctica - during which the film crew spent almost a year in the extremely challenging environment.
Enjoy a glimpse of life on this rarely-visited continent on our Ultimate Antarctica Adventure tour, which includes a 10-day cruise aboard an ice-strengthened expedition ship to the Arctic Peninsula. Watch for several species of penguin with RIB boat excursions and landings, and spot species of whale from the ship.
