| Note |
"We know less about the oceans than we do about the surface of the moon, yet the seas cover two-thirds of our world. Blue Planet is a definitive exploration of our planet's oceans and reveals the sea and its inhabitants at their most fearsome and alluring. From the coasts to the poles, from the reefs to the deep, we travel with behemoths like the blue whale and the microscopic including coral polyps to experience the oceans as never before. We'll show you never before captured behavior, including the hunting process of dolphins, killer whales, and polar bears. It's a series that is both breaktaking and groundbreaking in scope. Episodes chronicle the mysteries of the deep, the intrigues of coastal sea mammals; investigate tidal and climatic influence, and depict the creatures and systems that revolve around our blue planet."--Container. |
