Planet Earth:
From Pole To Pole 4-D Experience

In this 12-minute epic 4-D adventure from BBC Earth, follow the sun as it touches the lives of creatures across the planet, bringing a fresh understanding of how the world is interconnected. As spring arrives in the Arctic, watch a mother polar bear and her two tiny cubs emerge into a snowy wonderland. Then, experience the fierce winds that sweep across Antarctica—forcing the emperor penguins to huddle together as they endure four months of darkness and the coldest temperatures on Earth.

BBC Earth’s From Pole to Pole examines how the seasons produce the greatest spectacles on Earth and illuminates the importance of the sun's energy to life on Earth.

BBC Earth’s Planet Earth: From Pole to Pole is a BBC/Discovery Channel/NHK co-production in association with the CBC and are made available through a partnership with CineMuse.
