Abstract
Episode 3: Open Ocean
In this marine desert there is nothing save the burning sun above and the blackened abyss below - yet here live many of the most spectacular predators in the ocean.
Episode 4: Frozen Seas
For the first time, the frozen worlds of the Arctic and Antarctic are compared, where the annual freeze and retreat of the sea ice governs the pace of life. With winter temperatures plummeting to 70˚C below freezing, relief only comes with the brief respite of spring.
