  Life in the Freezer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Life in the Freezer is a BBC nature documentary series written and presented by David Attenborough, first transmitted in the UK from 18 November 1993.
Over the course of the series, the seasonal effect on the continent is explored, from one of the most harshest winters on the planet to the arrival of spring, which welcomes a population of ocean travellers returning to breed.
The accompanying book, Life in the Freezer: A Natural History of the Antarctic by Alastair Fothergill with a foreword by David Attenborough (ISBN 0563364319), was published by BBC Books on 4 November 1993.

 Life in Cold Blood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Life in Cold Blood is a BBC nature documentary series written and presented by David Attenborough, which is currently in production.
Part of David Attenborough's 'Life' series of programmes, it will have been preceded by Life in the Undergrowth (2005), although in 2006 he did also narrate Planet Earth — the first natural history series to be made entirely in high-definition format.
Life in Cold Blood is planned to be Attenborough's last major TV series, as he will be 82 years old when it is completed.

 Life in the Freezer
Life in the Freezer is a startling portrait of Antarctica as a dramatic, violent, yet ultimately poetic ecosystem.
Life in the Freezer's multi-episode format allows each of those changes to be explored in rich detail.
I have always admired documentaries on nature and "Life In The Freezer", narrated by British Naturalist, David Attenborough, is. From penquins, seals, and to whales, it is truly amazing how such animals have adapted to a world full of ice, freezing cold, and the perils of being exposed to constant chilling temperatures.

Fine though The Life of Birds and Life in the Freezer are, they lack the comprehensive sweep of the original Life trilogy.
Life on Earth, The Living Planet and The Trials of Life individually and collectively deliver an incredible global perspective on natural history.
The generation that grew up with the Life trilogy is now bringing up its own children, and those children are reaching the same age their parents were when that iconic solar flare and portentous theme launched the first episode of Life on Earth.

 "Life in the Freezer" (1993)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
"Life in the Freezer" is a majestic, haunting, extraordinary look at life in Antarctica, the most hostile place on Earth.
Producer/Director Alastair Fothergill and his brilliant team of cinematographers and sound recordists journeyed to the icy continent to record more than a year of life in the freezer.
The emotions one feels while watching this are overwhelming and we are filled with awe and wonder at a continent that is closer to an alien planet than anything else within our terrestrial boundaries.

 Life in the Freezer - Definition, explanation
Life in the Freezer is a BBC natural history television series (in conjunction with The National Geographic Society and Lionheart International Limited) of six episodes about life in and around the continent of Antarctica.
This episode also describes primitive plant life such as lichen which can still be found on the continent in winter, even in the extremely dry and permanently frozen valleys -- conditions under which dead animals can lie frozen for many centuries without decomposing.
It details the life of the Emperor Penguin, "the only birds to lay their eggs directly on ice".

 What I learned about life from defrosting the freezer
All of a sudden, the "freezer" is full, and our problems have shoved all the happiness, joy, and living right out of our lives.
When using a blow dryer to defrost a freezer, though, you take a different tack: aim it at one point, preferably where the ice is thinnest, and then leave it there.
Life is like a refrigerator -- keep it cool, and keep it going, get rid of the frost and you'll do all right.

 Life in the Freezer
Amid the wildness of the landscape, leopard seals pounce at unsuspecting fledglings, fur seal pups take their first swim, and young wandering albatrosses rehearse their amazing courtship dance.
During the Antarctic winter, conditions are so extreme that most animal life deserts the region.
The few exceptions include emperor penguins, which huddle together as storms rage, and Weddell seals, which maintain holes in the ice for access to an underwater world in which fish survive by having natural antifreeze in their blood.

Life in the Freezer is a documentary hosted by David Attenborough.
I found myself glued to the TV, fascinated by the beautiful scenery of icebergs with"ice falls" breaking off and dumping themselves into the sea of blue and the multitude of animals and their feeding, mating, and habitat patterns.
David Attenborough explains why certain birds are migrating to Antarctica while showing the humpback whales feeding on krill, which is a type of shrimp like crustacean.

 Secrets to surviving life in the freezer - smh.com.au
It's a big ask to prevent a body becoming mush as it defrosts, not to mention bringing it back to life and fixing whatever knocked the person off in the first place.
But many believe it is possible and pay big bucks to have their bodies kept in a high-tech deep freeze until we have the medical know-how to resurrect them.
One place scientists look for inspiration is a large range of animals - made up of worms, insects, molluscs, frogs and turtles - which do survive life in the freezer.

Everything from March of Penguins I knew already from Life in the Freezer but there is sooooo much more here about so many animals.
There are some incredible moments- the life and death of creatures who's whole lives seem to consist of nothing but hardship, huge mountain ranges untrod by human footsteps and the driest place on earth; where the only living things are algae in the rocks.

 DVD.net : Life in the Freezer - DVD Review
Originally going to air nine years ago (in November 1993), the BBC’s remarkable six-part documentary series Life in the Freezer broke new ground in the filming of the Antarctic continent, its surrounds and the life that inhabits it.
The least hospitable place on the planet - at least to humans - Antarctica is nevertheless the home of a thriving community of animals, birds and fish life, all of it adapting to life in the coldest place on earth.
A superb documentary series that offers unique image after unique image of one of the most fascinating and under-explored places on the globe, Life in the Freezer is a must-see for anyone who loves being gobsmacked by nature; it’s also compulsory viewing for penguin nerds everywhere.
