Every summer, over 40 million penguins take to the southern ocean to feed. They are joined by thousands of whales. Minkes are the most numerous. They all come here to harvest the richest ocean on earth. Carrying on south, we have our first our glimpse of the frozen continent. Southern humpbacks of travelling four thousand miles from the equator, are finally arriving in Antartic.
Humans have long felt the lure of this mysterious world. Yet it was only a hundred years ago that the first explorers walked inland and were confronted by the highest, driest and coldest territory on earth. Every year the continent is transformed, as the sea ice that surrounds it begins to disappear. This melt halves the size of Antartic. It's the most spectacular seasonal change occuring anywhere on our planet.
人类很久以来已受到这个神秘世界的感召。然而仅在一百年前,第一位探险家走进内陆，迎接地球上最高、最干及最冷的土地的挑战。由于围绕着它的海冰开始消失，每年这片大陆都在变化。南极在逐渐融化。这是发生在我们的星球上最壮观的季节变化。
