Shot at over 50 locations around the world and with eighty different species, this breath-taking four-part special offers a deeper insight into the aquatic side of nature, from the coastal shores to the open sea. With almost three quarters of the Earth’s surface covered by water, the oceans host a variety of remarkable wildlife – from the large to the tiny, and from the hunters to the hunted. Splash to the depths of the seas to experience the thrill of the chase as predators stalk their prey and get up-close with a variety of marine animals, from the gigantic blue whale to shoals of tuna, as you come one step closer to understanding the great watery unknown.

Part 4: Fire and Ice

Examine the paradox of whales, penguins, iguanas and dolphins that inherited a burdensome legacy from their land-dwelling ancestors: they must breathe in open air. Visit the Galapagos Islands, where evolution still experiments with life's ebb and flow between land and sea. Off the South American coast, witnesses an orca whale family teach their young the art of beaching to hunt sea lions. On the Antarctic ice, emperor penguins care for their land-locked baby chicks.
