[walruses baying loudly outside]
-The Night of the Living Dead. -Yeah.
Zombie attack. We're just trying to zombie-proof our home.
[baying continues]
Yeah, you look over the top,
you can see the zombie eyes.
You can see them.
They're right there.
They're massive.
Their head's about that big.
[baying continues]
Let the battle commence.
Okay, I can see the bait.
[David Attenborough] The team have come to the remote islands of French Polynesia
in the South Pacific.
Here, sharks are fully protected.
This is one of the few places left
where they still thrive in the numbers they once did.
Good to go.
Divers, divers, this is topside. This is topside.
Do you copy?
[diver] Yeah, reading you loud and clear. Can you hear me?
I can hear you loud and clear, loud and clear, over.
Enjoy your dive, and let's go find some sharks.
[diver chuckles] Fingers crossed.
Finding the sharks isn't a problem.
[diver 1] Okay, here they are.
Wow.
[diver 2] Plenty of sharks.
They're gathered in the main channel,
hanging in the tidal current.
But working against such a strong current
is tough going for divers.
To film the sharks hunting at night, the crew need powerful underwater lights.
They've mounted them onto a scooter to help with the current.
That's a motor underwater scooter, DPV.
Diver propulsion vehicle.
Right here are the lights.
They are attached to the front.
On this side back here you have the propeller.
It's like a torpedo with lights.
The rig is designed to light a large enough area of reef
to capture the full scale of the spectacle.
It's kind of spooky...
to see shark eyes reflecting.
The lights are working well,
so the crew descend towards the channel.
Unconcerned by the lights,
the sharks begin to hunt.
[diver 1] Wow. They're all here, right?
The divers approach cautiously,
keeping their distance from the sharks.
[diver 2] Plenty of sharks, and this is a different mood to daytime.
Know what? These guys are switched on, they're active.
Be careful in there.
Just as the action hots up,
the lighting rig fails.
Back to the boat.
There are few species more elusive than the Siberian tiger,
and the Our Planet team has come up
with a remarkable plan to film them.
[man] We're gonna be going into the hides
with the prospect of doing approximately...
800 hours...
in a small, wooden box...
by the end of the shoot.
To have any chance of filming the tiger,
they'll have to live inside the heart of tiger territory themselves.
They're using specially built hides
just big enough for one person to live in.
So it's a bit like caravanning, um,
but sort of bizarre winter caravanning
where you're looking for a place with good views of tigers.
The hides had to be placed precisely
to afford the best view.
[men speaking Russian]
But perhaps some are just a little too precise.
-[man speaking Russian] -Yes?
Okay.
[man speaking Russian]
I don't know, it's kind of like you've just moved into a new house,
and you don't know where anything is.
But the trouble is this house is...
very, very small.
And you've got a lot of stuff here.
The camera team will live inside these hides
over the next two winters.
-All right, see you later. Bye, Paul. -Cheers. Okay, bye.
Bye.
For six days at a time, they will never even open the door.
No, I'm not staying in there.
Siberian tigers have the largest territories of any cat,
and they are notoriously shy.
So by living in these hides,
they hope to stand a chance of being there at the right moment
without disturbing the tiger.
While the others sit patiently in their box,
Kieran is using the knowledge of local scientists
to build a network of camera traps
across the tiger landscape.
The least comfortable thing I've ever done.
The slightest movement will trigger these cameras,
so he must return regularly to check his catch.
Initial signs are not very promising.
I think it looks like more of nothing.
Damn.
An Our Planet team are in the Canadian Arctic.
They've heard reports that at a few spots along the coast,
and for just a couple of weeks a year,
polar bears have learned to do something extraordinary.
At their base camp on the Barnoin River in Quebec,
bear guide Alain shows them some tantalizing footage
from the previous year.
Forced ashore by the summer ice melt,
the bears here have learned to catch fish from the rivers.
This brief feast provides them with valuable energy
in the increasingly long ice-free season.
There's lots of fish over there,
and something we even see the wolf fishing with them.
Good, expectations are pretty low, actually.
Yes, exactly, yeah.
But there are only a few rivers shallow enough
for the bears to catch migrating fish.
These are over a hundred kilometers further north,
and for the crew, only accessible by small float plane.
If you tell me we're gonna have good weather,
your chance of seeing polar bear catching char in the next two weeks
are just 90...
95.
-Perfect. -No big deal.
Not phased by a little drizzle,
the team test their kit.
They're hoping to capture the first ever underwater footage
of polar bears fishing
and have built a special camera trap for the job.
Yeah.
Horizon good?
No, actually, that's slightly off, I think.
Once it's working...
they get the rest of their cameras ready.
All they need to do now
is to get them in front of a polar bear.
Extensive quarter-mile to two-mile fog drizzle,
so...
non-fit weather for flying.
I mean, you're gonna fly maybe one mile
and you run into a fog bank,
and...
you've got no visibility, you're stuck.
-Another day in camp. -Yeah.
We were thinking weighing ourselves with all our kit. We started yesterday.
Thirty-two pounds.
The drone weighed, done.
247, now there's 206.
Oh dear, this is not good.
I'm over weight capacity and we're maxing out this bush plane,
and it looks like since I am the fattest
I'm getting left behind, and I'm not happy about it.
Okay, let's have a look at this. What are we at?
We're at 226.
-What? -I know!
Too many pancakes have been eaten.
My slight concern is we've got another week.
Absolutely.
Weaher dictates everything that we do, every day.
In French Polynesia, good news.
The lighting rig is back in action.
To capture the ultimate sequence,
the crew need to get right in amongst the sharks,
and for that they need extra protection:
bite-proof chain mail suits.
If you don't use it,
you have a big chance, I think, to be bitten.
Everything is right here, from a safety point of view.
So it's no fear, it's just...
intensity, excitement, exhilaration.
Tonight the sharks are gathering in even greater numbers.
[Anderson] Oh, that is a lot of sharks.
Using all his experience,
Doug carefully judges the moment to move closer.
They look all right tonight. I'm gonna get in there.
By remaining calm and moving slowly,
the cameramen get right in the middle
of the hunting sharks...
[Anderson] That's a lot of sharks.
...and managed to film hundreds of top predators
in a feeding frenzy...
without becoming part of it.
[Anderson] Really great action.
Yep, wonderful.
You're really in the middle of a predation scene,
and you feel very small at the end.
Today such incredible scenes only occur
in places like French Polynesia where sharks are protected.
And we could have so many sharks hunting together
and being so close to each other,
it's like a river flow.
It's really special.
I really like-- I'm enjoying this spot.
These top predators play a vital role
in the health of our coastal seas.
It's crucial that we protect sharks in all our oceans
so they can thrive once again.
A month into filming the tigers,
and the unremarkable days are passing slowly.
Not much else to do apart from give you a tour of the hide.
So let's be quick about it and very quiet.
So, here we go.
This is my big knife,
thermometer,
box of nuts,
satellite communication device,
tea, coffee,
toilet paper,
flare for, uh, frightening the tiger off,
if it decides to eat me.
Fat chance.
These are down booties to keep my feet warm,
kettle, cooker,
all my gas stuff,
bottle for peeing in.
That's the toilet there.
I sit on that about once a day just to give myself a treat.
Even I'm bored now.
Two months in, and Kieran's routine checks are well under way.
Well, it seems like the camera is still working.
There's a lot of footage on this...
card.
Question is, footage of what?
Lots of tiger food.
But still no tiger.
Cool.
We've got a... lynx.
First time we've got something like that here.
You know, it's not a tiger but it's a pretty cool animal.
But not what they're looking for.
That evening, though, Paul receives a visitor.
Well, I appear to have been surrounded by maybe two tigers.
I don't know if you can still hear that, but it's still...
still roaring out up the track,
-and it seems to be... -[tiger roaring]
...that there's another tiger also calling back.
So...
-I'm clearly in the right place. -[tiger yowling]
I just have to hope that they're still around by morning.
That is an incredible sound.
Sadly, the two tigers are not still around the following morning.
Wow, it's beautiful.
But the scientists' camera traps confirm Paul's nighttime visitors.
[man] No snoring tonight, Paul.
[Paul] No, well, draw them in.
-Stunning, eh? I like to see those. -Yeah, it's great.
Fingers crossed.
So we should see this... this tiger.
Frustratingly close, and yet still not filmable.
It's their second year of filming,
and the camera trap team finds some promising signs
on their way to the ridge.
The-- Stop.
It's very fresh.
And it's heading in the right direction.
Kind of kept coming down the trail a bit and then it turns up into this area
where there's no snow.
But it looks like the tiger continued up the ridge to where our camera traps are.
By now the team has learned through trial and error
the most likely tiger routes through the forest.
But Kieran knows through experience
that the cats are still highly sensitive to any signs of humans in their domain.
To succeed, one needs a lots of luck.
[chuckles]
[quietly] Yes!
Finally, the camera traps are beginning to pay off.
Oh, man, I can't believe it.
This is, like-- this is two years of work.
Like two years of work for, like,
just minutes of footage,
and, uh...
you see a shot like this and it's just all worth it.
I mean, it's like the perfect setting, this ridge,
where you've got the mountains in the background, you've got nice light,
and flare going on in the lens, you have this incredible animal...
Just, I don't know, I mean, it's...
Yeah, it's incredible.
There is no guarantee of success in hide work.
A tiger must present itself to you,
which makes the two winters endured by the hide teams
a remarkable feat of determination.
Yet thanks to the collective efforts of all involved,
we now have just a few precious images
of the remaining Siberian tigers on our planet.
Let the battle commence.
Working in a hot, steamy, mosquito-infested jungle
is testing for anyone.
It went deep there.
That's pretty deep. I think that's pretty deep.
That's what we call a hole.
But from a filming perspective,
this particular patch of rain forest
really is hell.
This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous.
But for those willing to take on the swamp,
the Suaq Reserve in Sumatra
is home to some unique animal behavior.
The orangutans that live here have learned to make and use tools,
the only wild members of their species known to do so.
Truly pristine orangutan habitat is not easy to find.
And after three exhausting days of travel,
they get their first taste of the challenges ahead.
It sort of feels as if the whole forest floor
is knitted together.
Sometimes I think I can pick up a vine here.
If I gave it a yank, somebody would trip up, you know, 50 meters that way.
One of the things you see everywhere are these roots,
these aerial root.
They're like croquet hoops, and they are literally all over this forest.
So you're walking along,
get your foot caught in one of those, and you're on your face pretty quickly.
It's not even 6:30 and I'm completely soaked.
All fun.
All part of humor of the wood.
You all right?
The orangutans spend all of their time up in the canopy,
never coming to the ground, and are constantly on the move.
So the big problem will be keeping up with them...
and getting a clean shot through all the foliage.
Oblivious of the struggles going on down below,
the orangutans are in their element.
We've been charging through the understory
trying to get shots of an orang with her baby,
and she always seems to be ten seconds in front of us.
I mean, we're always playing with seconds.
You set up the camera, you've got a few seconds to get the camera ready,
focused, fired,
but in that time, very often she's just moved off,
so you get nothing.
Nothing.
It's pretty much impossible.
Well, not impossible, surely.
Shall we just call it difficult?
Difficult.
Very difficult.
Matt, I've got an important question for you.
Yeah, what's the important question, Huw?
[Huw] So what do you think our shot per setup ratio is?
Twenty-five to one.
[Huw] So 25 times--
Twenty-five times camera on, camera off--
Hauling the camera and tripod through the jungle.
Hauling, yeah,
scratching shins...
going up to my waist in water.
[Huw] After all that, we end up with just--
Nothing. We end up with just nothing.
As the days turn to weeks...
jungle living is beginning to take its toll on Matt,
and he's forced to take some unscheduled time off.
It's an enforced break.
I've got this...
It's a plant allergy, it's an allergy to a plant like a poison ivy
or a poison oak.
And unfortunately, it's hit the whole entire back of my legs.
I'm trying to give it some sun to try and dry it out out.
I'm not really one for sunbathing, but, you know...
certain situations demand it, and this is one of them.
Finally, we have the weather to go and film polar bears.
We've been sitting here, seems like forever, maybe ten days.
But...
today's the day.
At last, the rain has let up enough for the team to head north.
Up in the air for the first time,
it becomes clear that all this rain has had an impact.
There's much more water everywhere than normal.
Some in that area, maybe.
[woman] Bear to the left. Bear to the left.
Finally the crew spot a bear.
They make their approach on foot,
hoping at last to film their sequence.
But as they get closer,
they see all is not as it should be.
Though there are bears here, there are no signs of fishing.
[bear snarls]
It seems that all of this rain has filled the rivers
to levels much higher than normal,
allowing the fish to run straight upstream to the lakes
without becoming trapped in pools along the way.
Perhaps this is why the bears aren't fishing.
Underwater, the team's fears are confirmed.
At this time of year, the river should be crammed full of fish.
But there's nothing here for the bears to eat.
The team must finally admit that they've been defeated by the weather,
and return home empty-handed.
The whole point of our freshwater film is to demonstrate how important it is
that the right amount of water hits these systems at the right time.
So this kind of demonstrates that perfectly
in that the wrong amount of water has hit the system
and the behavior that we wanted to film can't happen.
It's good for the fish but obviously bad for the bears and bad for us.
We don't have a sequence, I think, for the simple reason
that the water levels are too high.
The fish aren't trapped, the bears can't feed.
Um, we can't film what's not happening.
Very frustrating. I think everybody feels like we failed somehow.
But it's nature. You don't win them all with nature.
It's been going on here for 20 years for Alain, but this year, no.
Weather over the years in the Arctic has just been getting really weird,
and this summer has just been the worse weather in the last 15 years.
It just basically rained all summer, you know, cloudy,
high water levels so the fish weren't able to get up to the...
were able to get up to the lakes too quickly
and the bears aren't able to fish.
So it's...
weird environmental climate change factors that are...
really hitting the Arctic hard and...
this is a classic example of it.
As the climate changes, the planet's weather
and the flow of its freshwater
are becoming much harder to predict.
For a film crew, this is frustrating,
but for wildlife, this rapidly changing world
now threatens their very survival.
In Sumatra, the weight of expectation is still on Matt's shoulders.
He must press on with the search to find orangutans using tools.
Progress has been painfully slow so far,
but often, a month-long shoot can boil down
to just a few minutes of action.
Huw and Matt are hanging in there,
knowing their luck can change in an instant.
Ah, good, good.
Yeah, good.
[leaves rustling]
Whenever you hear that chucking noise...
[clicks tongue]
...that's them eating ants.
So you can hear it from some distance.
[orangutan clicking tongue]
Orangutans often use tools when foraging for ants.
This could be the moment the crew have been waiting for.
Only through a small window in the foliage,
they catch their first glimpse of what they came for.
A female orangutan is using a stick tool
to dig out ants from their nest.
Tool use by animals is extremely rare,
even amongst our closest relatives.
This is a groundbreaking moment for the team.
[Matt] It's an incredible thing to see and witness.
I'm pretty blown away by the fact that we've actually got this, you know?
It's been a slog, but it's been worth it.
The swampy conditions that made life very difficult for the crew
are also the very thing that has protected this small patch of rain forest
from exploitation.
Today, this area supports the highest density
of Sumatran orangutans anywhere in the world,
and it's thought to be the only viable population that's left.
In just a few decades,
well over 50% of Sumatra's rain forest has been lost.
What remains could be gone
within the lifetime of these individuals.
The Store Glacier in Greenland,
the location of Our Planet's most nerve-wracking shoot...
The ice face stands 100 meters above the ocean's surface
and extends 400 meters below it.
In summer, skyscraper-size blocks break off,
and all that submerged ice comes racing to the surface.
In the three-week filming window, this might only happen once.
But these ice falls mean the glacier is shifting,
and may calve very soon.
A transport helicopter has delivered the land-based team.
But the aerial's team in another helicopter are delayed.
All they can do is set up camp and wait.
With 24-hour daylight,
a calving event is filmable anytime day or night.
[glacier rumbling]
[Sophie] More bits, just.
Yeah, and down over there too.
It's got to go.
Yeah.
[rumbling, crashing]
[Sophie] So it's now nearly midnight.
It's still bright daylight.
And if the light wasn't enough to keep you awake,
you just hear all these sounds,
and I think they sound even louder when you're in your tent.
Dash outside and everything goes quiet. As soon as you come back in the tent...
-Like that. -[glacier rumbling]
They're seeing more and more ice falls.
But the aerial team still haven't arrived.
But today the sun's out and the glacier has woken up.
So we've been waiting on tenterhooks a bit in case it calves before they get here.
It's building up.
Helicopters aren't always needed to get a camera in the air.
The teams turn to a different solution on the high seas.
Thank you.
Yeah, that's it, the bait.
Okay, I can see the bait, you're good.
Exposure looks good.
Moving now. Keep the bait. There they go.
[man] Okay, dropping it.
Wildlife spectacles in the open ocean are unpredictable
and very short-lived.
Filming these from the air has always been a challenge
because helicopters can't venture far from land.
[man] Keep up with the bait.
Hold it there. I'm gonna come back towards the boat.
-Yeah, it's going up top, isn't it? -Yeah.
Now, with the very latest drones...
-Drop in a bit more. -Nice?
Looks amazing.
...we can at last get an aerial perspective
on these fleeting events
out on the high seas.
So it's the first time we've got a drone that's fast enough
and small enough and practical to launch from a boat.
So when we're out here miles and miles offshore,
it really is opening up a whole host of opportunities for us,
which is really exciting.
The team have come to Mexico's Gulf of California,
one of the best places in the world to see blue whales.
A blue whale.
It's our first blue whale. We've just...
We spotted it a second ago. It's absolutely enormous.
That's quite an obvious thing to say about a blue whale, but...
it is a huge, huge whale.
Whoa.
Oh, my God!
There it is, it's up.
It's a good start, but the crew have a more ambitious goal:
to film a blue whale mother and her calf from the air.
Drone's ready, let's go.
Filming is a two-man operation.
Hector flies the drone and Olly operates the camera.
They have to get the drone in position
then work out the best altitude and orientation for the shot.
[Olly] Hold it there.
Blue whales only surface for two to three minutes at the time
before diving for up to 15 minutes.
It's a narrow window for everything to come together.
-Can't see it. -There.
[Olly] Don't twist too much into the sun.
The light's so bright.
Too much. Okay, let's start again.
[Hector] Ah, she's diving.
So fast.
She's gone.
[Jamie] This is the little room.
Cold store, makeshift filming,
and a bucket...
We poo in a bucket.
It's the glamour.
That's Hector, Patrick,
Anatoly, Evgeny, Max...
This is where we eat, sleep,
dry things, get warm.
This is where everyone sleeps.
One, two, three people sleep in there.
It's luxurious.
[Sophie] Is that it? Is that the tour?
That's the tour, yeah. There's nothing else.
Then there's outside. There's a lot more outside.
[walruses baying outside]
The Night of the Living Dead.
Yeah.
Zombie attack. We just started to zombie-proof our home.
[Jamie] Zombies.
[walrus bellowing]
[Jamie] It's the middle of the night and we've just been woken up by...
The hut has been absolutely surrounded by walrus.
Every little hole you can look out of, where the generator goes out,
the crack in the door,
there's another hole out that way,
we're completely surrounded by walrus. It's amazing.
You hear banging against the sides of the hut. Hut feels like it's shaking.
You can hear their tusks on the wall.
It's quite amazing.
It's really exciting because we wanted them to come.
So yeah, it's brilliant.
It's like being surrounded by 50,000 Wookiees.
If we didn't know what they were that would be really scary.
[walrus baying]
When the team came to Russia
to film the largest gathering of walrus on the planet,
theyt never expected them to come knocking on their door.
The beach is absolutely jam packed full.
The problem with that is that the cabin is completely surrounded.
There's just walrus everywhere.
[grunting, bellowing]
With walrus blocking all exits,
there was only one place suitable for filming.
The cabin's surrounded so we have to film on the roof.
We had every form of weather from sunshine to snow to hail.
Seen all weather in a day here.
Rooftop filming in bad weather has its limitations.
What the team was really waiting for
was an opportunity to get the drone in the air.
We've got a break in the weather and there's walrus everywhere
and a gap, a break in the walrus as well.
We're gonna try to get the drone in the air and show the spectacle.
Yeah, straight along the shoreline.
Numbers are unbelievable.
Tens of thousands of walrus, as far as you can see.
The whole beach is full, the cliffs are full.
There's thousands in the water.
It's only from the air that you can truly see the scale of this spectacle.
Over 100,000 individuals hauled out on one beach.
There's no walrus left.
Overnight they've all gone.
I can't believe it goes from 80,000 walrus,
every single inch of beach has been covered,
to just empty.
In one night. Amazing.
Oh, there he is.
He's up, yeah.
-You taking off? -That's us.
Okay, forward.
There he is.
-Okay, go hard left. -Hard left.
Hard left.
In these ideal conditions,
and with the whales unconcerned by our drone,
the crew are able to capture intimate close-up images.
-Yeah, rolling. Move right. -Move right.
Yeah, hold it.
They even managed to film a blue whale feeding...
...its extended throat full of water and krill.
He is feeding there.
-Forward a bit. -Slow.
[whale exhaling air loudly
Sounds like he's quite close.
Wow.
Just got a big wide of a feeding whale.
Whoa. Let's go.
Keep rolling. It's good.
Yeah.
Mom and calf, mom and calf, let's go. Let's go.
-Yeah. -Ready?
Yeah.
That's it. Come up, move left.
-Left. -Nice.
Don't twist.
Keep going forward.
Yeah, keep to the left.
Okay. Oh, beautiful.
I'm gonna hold the shot there. Gonna hold.
Okay, holding.
Yeah, that's nice, it's beautiful.
Let's just keep gently into him. Just keep, this is the shot, don't worry.
Coming back. Coming back just real gently with him.
Beautiful. That's the one.
She's coming straight at the drone. Let's get lined up on her.
You can see its face.
Whoa. That's lovely.
Seeing some of the calf, and seeing its face
and seeing it dip under Mom and come back out
and that sort of behavior was...
yeah, I think that's definitely the winner.
Yeah, that was pretty special.
With their innovative use of drones,
the team were able to capture these rare intimate moments...
revealing a new tender side
to the largest animal that has ever lived.
At the glacier, the sound everyone has been waiting for.
[helicopter blades whirring]
And not a moment too soon.
Hello, Jamie. How are you?
Welcome to Store.
[Jamie] Yeah, beautiful.
But with the aerial team finally in place,
the glacier's activity drops without warning.
All they can do is wait,
and hope it calves before their time runs out.
[man] Everything's gonna come together. Sun's gonna come out,
the ice is gonna calve, and we're gonna capture it all on film.
On the last day.
It's usually what happens.
Mmm.
[glacier rumbling]
Yep, that's another bit coming up from the bottom.
[Sophie] More to the right.
-Where? -Right, to the right of that bit.
-We've got bits on the-- -Oh, look. That bit.
I'd get on the wide, if I were you.
[man] Wow! Look at that one.
Rising up, that pillar.
Okay, we're good to go.
[man] Okay, Mateo, let us know what you see.
Okay, we'll let you know if there's any activity on the nose. Over.
Okay, I'm going in for details. Are you on the wide?
Okay, just go straight ahead.
Does it look like that bit above the arch is gonna go?
They must get close to film.
I don't wanna be this close to the wall ahead.
But how close is too close?
Okay, let's try and get above this now.
[man] Let's just get a bit higher.
With the pilot dodging truck-sized ice blocks,
it's clear something much bigger is about to happen.
[man] Jamie, camera left.
The whole face is going.
A kilometer of ice breaks off the front.
And half a kilometer of underwater ice
starts rushing to the surface.
[man] Jean Michel, get us in as close as you think you can.
[Jamie] Okay, hold this line, as steady as you can go.
That's great.
Can we get a little bit lower?
Yeah, that's really good.
[man] Jean Michel, pull up. Up! Up!
The pilot must navigate around 75 million tons of ice
crashing about the bay.
[man] Wider, wider, wider.
[Jamie] Yeah, that's really good.
Okay, let's try and get around this if we can.
[Jamie] Can we slide left from this?
Looks amazing.
Unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it.
[man] We're just gonna work around the icebergs.
We need you to let us know if there's more calving.
Yeah, we will do but... [bleep] hell.
That was unbelievable.
How was it from the helicopter?
[laughs] Oh, [bleep] amazing.
It was like a video game, honestly.
It was just like around that bit there and there was like a whole mountain
rising out of the sea and then flipping over and then turning.
Did you see, we went high, it's calved?
-We get the plan view. -Yeah.
-And we were looking in... -And then we saw--
...something came, it was just a whole face was collapsing.
We just came in on absolute--
-[Sophie] I saw that, yeah. -That second calving was just immense.
And it just came up to the left of the helicopter.
-[Jamie] I forgot about that, yeah. -And he was going, "Wider!"
[man] Were you pulling back, or what, at the time?
At some point I needed to because I saw, actually, an iceberg in the mirror.
And then he said, "Pull up! Pull up! Pull up! Whoa!"
I could just hear Adam, "Come here, okay, camera left, no!"
Jamie in the back, "Oh, my God! This is...! Oh, my God!
The most amazing thing I've ever seen, let alone filmed.
Yeah, it's worth it.
-Absolutely fantastic. -Yeah.
Oh, boy.
Right, kettle's on.
Oh, boy.
On the Russian coast,
the polar celebrities have turned up.
This, polar bear country.
Luckily, Russian walrus biologist Anatoly Kochnev
is no novice when it comes to fending off polar bears...
and has developed his own unique way of dealing with them:
a long stick.
I stick and he staying in...
around stick.
Yeah.
Yes. See, and...
I'm the polar bear.
[growls] Then...
Yeah.
A little bit worried that all we've got is a stick when there's 12 bears
that you can see from here.
But I trust Anatoly.
My trust in science.
Let's go.
[Sophie] So I'm not sure I wanna go now.
Anatoly's stick technique,
combined with years of experience reading bears,
appears to be keeping them at bay.
[Jamie] They're all fat and happy so...
we haven't had any bears here that aren't really chilled out,
and they just walk straight past you, totally ignore us.
If anything, when they get a scent of you, they tend to move away a bit,
give you a bit of distance but, no, they're really chilled out.
With the bears relaxed, the team could turn their attention to the walrus
that had started to come ashore.
But they never expected what was to follow.
Walrus climbing to the very top of the cliffs
to get away from the crush below.
[grunts]
I don't understand. Why are they going up there?
Like...
literally to the top of the rockiest part of the cliff.
Once at the top of the 80-meter cliffs they rest,
until it's time to return to the sea in search of food.
[Sophie] That last little section is the steep bit, and they all just...
It's really steep. That bit.
Oh, God.
Gently.
[Jamie] One's gonna go.
There's one right on the edge.
It's the worst thing I've ever filmed. They're not designed to climb cliffs.
It's the least evolutionary stable strategy I've ever seen.
I don't understand it at all.
It's just so horrible.
It's just un...
You can't fathom why, how...
It can see the walrus out at sea and it just wants to go straight to them.
And it has no concept of...
falling, I think, I don't know what it is.
Still really depressing, but today, I'm just really annoyed
at how ridiculous it is that they just--
They're not being pushed, there's no stampede. It calmly walked off a cliff.
[Jamie] There's probably two or three hundred dead walrus
on, like, a half mile stretch of beach here.
They're exhausted 'cause they're having to swim 100 miles
to get food and then come back here 'cause it's the only place to sleep.
They used to sleep on the ice, dive down, eat the food, sleep on the ice, easy.
Now they're swimming a hundred miles, coming to this place, climbing cliffs,
and they're exhausted and falling down and...
are either being killed falling or just crushing each other
'cause there's several thousand crammed onto little tiny bits of beaches,
and then polar bears just have a field day.
They're not being attacked by polar bears. They just fall to their death.
Completely on their own now 'cause they can't get down the cliffs.
They're clearly not designed to climb cliffs.
[Sophie] This is the sad reality of climate change.
They'd be on the ice right now if they could be.
But there's no option but to come to land.
And they're just a danger to themselves.
It's really hard to watch and witness this.
It's just...
Thing is, it's not like a...
a quick death, they just, like, tumble...
and they get internal injuries and they just lie here.
It's just so heart-breaking.
Really sad.

‪（600个工作人员 ‪超过200次拍摄之旅）
‪（这是他们的故事）
‪工作人员来到法属波利尼西亚的 ‪偏远岛屿
‪在南太平洋
‪这里 鲨鱼受到完全的保护
‪这是仅余的数个地方
‪它们还保持往昔的数量规模
‪可以出发
‪潜水员 这是甲板
‪收到吗？
‪收到 很清晰 你听到吗？
‪听得很清楚 完毕
‪好好享受 去找到鲨鱼吧
‪老天保佑
‪找到鲨鱼不是问题
‪好了 它们在那里
‪哇
‪好多鲨鱼
‪它们在主通道聚集
‪在潮汐洋流中保持不动
‪但要对抗强劲的洋流
‪对潜水员很困难
‪要拍摄夜间鲨鱼猎食 ‪工作组需要强力的水下照明
‪它们安装在电动车上 来对抗洋流
‪这是水下电动车 DPV
‪（雷吉斯·帕撒拿 照明操作员）
‪潜水员水下推进器
‪这里是灯源
‪连接到前面
‪在这边的后面是螺旋桨
‪这就像是有灯的鱼雷
‪这个设备可以照亮一大片珊瑚礁区域
‪可以捕捉景象的全貌
‪有点诡异
‪看到鲨鱼眼睛的反射
‪照明设备运作良好
‪工作人员下潜到主通道
‪不受照明影响
‪鲨鱼开始猎食
‪哇 它们都在 对吗？
‪潜水员小心接近
‪保持与鲨鱼的距离
‪这么多鲨鱼 这是和白天 ‪完全不同的气氛
‪话说 这些家伙准备行动了
‪在那边小心
‪正当周边状况变得活跃时
‪照明设备出故障了
‪回到船上
‪（俄罗斯东部）
‪很少物种比西伯利亚虎更神出鬼没
‪我们的摄制组想到一个
‪非凡的计划来进行拍摄
‪我们要进入藏身点
‪预期要等待大概…
‪（马克·史密夫 摄影师）
‪800小时
‪在一个小的 木制盒子里
‪直到拍摄结束
‪为了有机会拍摄到老虎
‪他们要进入老虎领地的心脏地带 ‪在里面独自生活
‪他们使用特制的藏身点
‪大小刚好够一个人在里面生活
‪有点像大篷车
‪（保罗·斯图尔特 摄影师）
‪但有点奇特的冬季大篷车
‪你要找到合适的地方 ‪可以很好观察老虎
‪这个藏身点必须设于精确位置
‪才能有良好的视野
‪但有些东西似乎太精确了
‪我不知道 这就像是搬进新房子
‪你不知道东西在哪里
‪麻烦的是这个房子
‪真的非常小
‪你有很多东西
‪摄制队要住在这些藏身点
‪度过未来的两个冬季
‪-好的 迟点见 再见 ‪-谢谢 好的
‪再见
‪每次长达六天的时间 ‪他们都不会开门
‪不 我不要呆在这里
‪西伯利亚老虎在猫科动物中 ‪有最广阔的领地
‪而且它们非常害羞
‪所以在藏身点内
‪他们希望于合适的时间 ‪出现在合适的地方
‪而不会惊扰到老虎
‪当其他人耐心在盒子里等待时
‪基伦充分利用本地科学家的知识
‪建立一个遥距摄像头的网络
‪穿越整个老虎的领地
‪这是我做过最不舒服的事
‪最轻微的动作都会触发这些摄像头
‪所以他要定期回来检查收获
‪（第15天）
‪初步迹象并不是很有希望
‪看起来完全没东西
‪靠
‪（加拿大东北部）
‪我们的摄制队在加拿大北极地区
‪他们听到报告 在海岸的若干地点
‪一年只有几个星期的时间
‪北极熊会学习做一些了不起的事
‪在魁北克巴朗河的营地
‪熊导游阿兰向他们展示了一些 ‪诱人的视频
‪是去年拍到的
‪因为夏季冰块融化 ‪被迫上岸的北极熊
‪学会了在河里捉鱼
‪这个简短的盛宴提供了宝贵的能量
‪在越来越长的无冰季节
‪那边有很多鱼
‪我们甚至见过狼和它们一起捉鱼
‪好的 我们的期望其实很低
‪是的 确实是
‪（加拿大）
‪但只有很少河流足够浅
‪可以让北极熊捉到迁徙的鱼类
‪再往北一百公里
‪摄制队只能通过小型水上飞机进入
‪如果有好的天气…
‪（阿兰·勒格）
‪在两周内看到北极熊捉鱼的机会
‪会有90%…
‪95%
‪-很好 ‪-没问题
‪（第2天）
‪没有细微的毛毛雨
‪队伍在检查设备
‪（艾莱拉·马拉柳 研究员 ‪肖恩·摩尔 摄影师）
‪他们希望进行有史以来 ‪第一次水下拍摄
‪关于北极熊捉鱼
‪为此准备了特别的遥距摄像头
‪是的
‪水平吗？
‪不太行 有点偏了
‪搞定这一个
‪他们还要布置其他的摄像头
‪他们需要做的事
‪就是等待北极熊出现在面前
‪（第3天）
‪大概0.4到3.2公里范围 ‪下着毛毛细雨和有雾
‪所以…
‪这样的天气不适合飞行
‪我是说 你们飞出去3公里多
‪就会被雾包围
‪然后
‪你会失去可视度 完全被困住
‪（第4天）
‪-在营地的另一天 ‪-是的
‪我们要看看昨天的人和设备 ‪加起来有多重
‪差不多15公斤
‪（兰森·韦伯 无人机机师）
‪无人机的重量 搞定
‪112 现在是94公斤
‪天 这不太好
‪我超重了 这简直是在压榨 ‪这部机器的潜能
‪既然我是最胖的
‪看来我要留下了 我很不高兴
‪好了 我们看看这个 什么情况？
‪我们现在是103公斤
‪-什么？ ‪-我知道！
‪我吃了太多煎饼
‪（第5天）
‪我有点担心 我们就剩下一周时间
‪是的
‪天气决定了我们每天做什么
‪在法属波利尼西亚 有好消息
‪照明设备恢复正常
‪为了拍摄最终的画面
‪拍摄人员要身处鲨群之中
‪所以他们需要额外的保护
‪防咬链状护甲
‪如果你不用
‪很大机会被咬
‪所有东西都准备好 安全起见
‪（道格·安达逊 摄影师）
‪现在没有恐惧 只是…
‪紧张 亢奋还有加速
‪今晚聚集的鲨鱼数量更多了
‪那边很多鲨鱼
‪运用他的经验
‪道格小心判断时机 再次靠近
‪今晚它们看起来不错 我要进去了
‪保持冷静 慢慢移动
‪摄影师进入了…
‪一群正在猎食的鲨群中间
‪好多鲨鱼
‪能够拍摄到数百条顶级的猎食者
‪一起猎食的盛况
‪而没有惊扰到它们
‪真是很棒的经历
‪是的 非常棒
‪你身处这样的猎食现场
‪你感到自己很渺小
‪现在这种令人赞叹的场景 ‪只会在少数地方才有
‪像法属波利尼西亚 ‪这里鲨鱼受到很好的保护
‪我们会见到这么多鲨鱼一起猎食
‪互相之间距离这么近
‪就像是河流一般
‪真的很特别
‪我非常享受 很喜欢这个地方
‪这些顶级的猎食者扮演关键角色
‪对我们沿海环境的健康而言
‪在我们所有的海洋保护鲨鱼至关紧要
‪让它们能再次繁荣发展
‪（俄罗斯东部）
‪拍摄老虎一个月了
‪平淡无奇的日子过得很慢
‪除了带你参观下藏身点 ‪没别的事好做
‪（第39天）
‪让我们安静 快速地过一遍
‪来吧
‪这是我的大刀
‪温度计
‪一盒果仁
‪卫星通讯设备
‪茶 咖啡
‪厕纸
‪照明弹 这可以阻吓老虎
‪如果它攻击我的话
‪这不大可能
‪这些短靴可以保持双脚温暖
‪水壶 炊具
‪用煤气的东西
‪用来尿尿的瓶子
‪这就是厕所
‪我每天坐一次 享受一下
‪就连我现在也很无聊
‪（第62天）
‪两个月了 基兰的例行检查进展顺利
‪看起来摄像头运作正常
‪有很多视频在这张…
‪卡上面
‪问题是 什么视频？
‪很多老虎的食物
‪但还是没老虎
‪很好
‪我们看到一只山猫
‪我们第一次在这里 ‪拍到这样的东西
‪这虽然不是老虎 但也是很酷的动物
‪但不是他们期望看到的
‪那天晚上 保罗有个访客
‪（第75天）
‪我似乎被两只老虎包围了
‪我不知道你能否听到
‪还在小路上咆哮
‪看起来
‪有另一只老虎
‪在回应
‪所以
‪我的位置明显是对的
‪我只是希望到早上它们还在附近
‪这是很神奇的声音
‪可惜的是 第二天早上那两只老虎 ‪已经不见了
‪哇 这很漂亮
‪但科学家的摄像头确认了 ‪保罗的夜间访客
‪今晚别打鼾
‪不 吸引它们
‪-很棒对吗？我喜欢这些 ‪-是的 很棒
‪老天保佑
‪我们应该会看到这只老虎
‪已经非常接近 但让人沮丧的是 ‪还是不能拍到画面
‪（12个月后）
‪这是拍摄的第二年
‪摄影队找到一些有希望的迹象
‪正在前往山脊的路上
‪很新
‪而且方向是对的
‪似乎沿着痕迹往下一点 ‪会看到有个区域
‪没有被雪覆盖
‪老虎是从山脊一直到我们摄像头 ‪所在的位置
‪队伍通过反复试验
‪已经大致判定老虎穿越森林的路线
‪但基兰通过经验得知
‪猫科动物对于领地内的任何人类迹象 ‪都保持高度敏感
‪为了成功 需要很多运气
‪最终 设置的摄像头有所斩获
‪难以置信
‪这是两年的成果
‪两年的工作
‪就是这数分钟的影像
‪而且
‪看到之后 你会觉得都是值得的
‪这个环境很完美 这个山脊
‪有后面的山做背景 光线很好
‪镜头上有光晕 拍到这只神奇的动物
‪我不知道 就是…
‪非常了不起
‪这个藏身任务 并不保证就能成功
‪老虎是自己出现在面前的
‪整个隐藏摄制队两个冬天的忍耐
‪以及非凡卓越的决心
‪还要感谢参与其中的所有 ‪合作者的努力
‪我们才能获取这些珍贵的影像
‪这是我们星球上仅存的西伯利亚虎
‪让战斗开始吧
‪在炎热 潮湿 蚊虫肆虐的丛林工作
‪这对任何人都是挑战
‪这里很深
‪很深 我想真的是很深
‪这是一个洞
‪但从拍摄的角度而言
‪这部分的雨林
‪真的是地狱
‪这太荒谬了
‪但对于愿意接受沼泽的人
‪苏门答腊的宿哇保护区
‪是某些独特动物习性的家园
‪在这里的猩猩 ‪学会了制造和使用工具
‪是它们的物种中唯一的野生成员 ‪能掌握这种技能
‪（印度尼西亚 苏门答腊）
‪真正原始的猩猩栖息地不容易找到
‪经过三天疲惫的旅行
‪他们首次感受到前路的挑战
‪感觉像是整个森林地面
‪编织在一起
‪有时我想 比方说这些树藤
‪（休·科迪 导演）
‪如果我猛拉 有人可能会在 ‪50米外被绊倒
‪到处可见的是这些树根
‪这些气生根
‪它们就像槌球箍 遍布整个森林
‪你走路的时候
‪如果被绊倒 很容易就整个人扑倒
‪还没到6点半 我已经全身湿透
‪很有趣
‪树林的幽默感
‪你没事吧？
‪猩猩基本上都在树冠上生活
‪不会下地 而且不停移动
‪要跟上它们 而且穿透重重枝叶
‪得到一个好的镜头 是个大问题
‪不知道下面的一系列挣扎情况
‪猩猩在享受自己的日子
‪我们在林下植被上固定摄像机
‪尝试拍摄猩猩和她的孩子
‪她总是比我们快半拍
‪我们总是和时间赛跑
‪你设置好摄影机 要花几秒钟准备
‪对焦 拍摄
‪但与此同时 她可能就已经移动了
‪然后一无所获
‪（马特·阿伯拉德 摄影师）
‪拍不到
‪这几乎不可能
‪当然不是不可能的
‪我能说困难吗？
‪困难
‪非常困难
‪马特 我问你个重要问题
‪好 什么重要问题？
‪你觉得我们拍摄的成功比是多少？
‪25比1
‪所以25次…
‪25次开机 关机
‪拖着这些摄像机和三脚架穿越丛林
‪拖着 是的
‪小腿都被刮伤了
‪还要在齐腰深的水前行
‪经历这些困难 我们一无所获
‪一无所获 目前为止
‪在数周之后
‪丛林生活对马特造成了不好的影响
‪他被迫休假一段时间
‪这是强制性的休息
‪我出现这种…
‪这是一种植物过敏 ‪就像是毒漆过敏那种情况
‪或是毒橡树之类
‪不幸的是 我整条腿的后部都是
‪我正在晒太阳 看能不能好转
‪我并不是喜欢晒太阳的人 ‪但现在这样…
‪情况需要 就是如此
‪（加拿大东北部）
‪最终 天气情况许可 ‪我们可以拍摄北极熊了
‪我们坐在这里等了 差不多十天
‪但是…
‪今天终于可以了
‪（第10天）
‪最后 雨势变小 团队可以出发向北
‪第一次起飞
‪很明显这些雨都有影响
‪地面上的水比平常要多很多
‪那边可能有一些
‪左边
‪最终他们发现了一只熊
‪他们步行接近
‪希望能拍到后续的情况
‪但当他们接近
‪他们没有看到设想的情况
‪虽然有熊 但没有捉鱼的迹象
‪似乎之前的雨补充了河流
‪让水位比平常高得多
‪让鱼都直接逆流而上到了湖泊
‪而没有被困在沿途的水池
‪所以熊现在没法捉鱼
‪在水下 团队的担心被证实
‪在每年这个时候 河里应该挤满了鱼
‪但现在完全没有了 北极熊没有食物
‪队伍必须承认 这次被天气打败了
‪只能空手回到基地
‪我们淡水那部分的拍摄 ‪是为了展示其重要性
‪需要有合适的水量在合适的时点 ‪激活整个生态系统
‪但现在的情况是 错误的水量
‪对生态系统造成了影响
‪我们想要拍摄的行为没有出现
‪这对鱼是好事 ‪但对北极熊和我们则不然
‪我们没拍到后续事件 原因很简单
‪就是水位太高了
‪鱼没有被困在浅水处 ‪北极熊也无法获取食物
‪我们拍不到没发生的情况
‪非常泄气 我想大家都觉得被击败了
‪但这就是大自然 你无法赢得所有
‪这种情况阿兰说已经持续20年 ‪但今年没有出现
‪北极近些年的天气 确实很奇怪
‪今年夏天的天气 ‪似乎是过去15年最糟的
‪整个夏天都下雨 而且阴天
‪水位太高 所以鱼不会出现在浅水处
‪直接就去到湖里 ‪这样北极熊就不能获得食物
‪所以…
‪奇怪的环境气候变化因素
‪真的对北极影响很大
‪这就是典型例子
‪随着气候变化 星球上的天气
‪和淡水的水流
‪变得更难预料
‪对于摄制队 这是一次挫折
‪但对于野生生物 ‪这个快速变化的世界
‪会极大地威胁它们的生存
‪在苏门答腊 马特仍重任在肩
‪他加紧努力 寻找猩猩 ‪使用工具的迹象
‪但进展非常缓慢
‪通常一整个月的拍摄
‪最终只能获得几分钟的行动片段
‪休和马特还在坚持
‪知道他们的运气会瞬间改变
‪啊 很好
‪是的 很好
‪你听到那种卡卡的声音
‪就是它们在吃蚂蚁
‪隔一段距离都能听到
‪猩猩在猎食蚂蚁时会使用工具
‪这可能就是摄制队等待的时刻
‪透过枝叶的缝隙
‪他们终于捕捉到期待已久的画面
‪一只雌性猩猩正在用棍子状的工具
‪在捣鼓蚂蚁的巢穴 将蚂蚁挖出
‪动物使用工具极其罕见
‪即使对于亲缘最近的猩猩来说
‪这对摄制队而言是突破性时刻
‪能目击这一切感觉非常神奇
‪能拍到这一切我很震惊
‪花了这么多工夫和时间 现在都值了
‪沼泽般泥泞的状况 让摄制队很艰难
‪但也是这个因素 ‪能保护这一小片雨林
‪免于人类开发
‪现在 这个地区支撑了地球上 ‪最高密度的
‪苏门答腊的猩猩的生存
‪被认为是仅存的可以进行繁殖的数量
‪在数十年间
‪苏门答腊超过一半的雨林已经被毁
‪在这些猩猩的生命周期内
‪剩下的也会很快消失
‪（格陵兰岛西部）
‪这是格陵兰岛的史多冰川
‪这是我们节目最头痛的拍摄地点
‪这个冰川大概在水平面上100米高
‪水下400米深
‪在夏天 摩天大楼般的冰块会分离
‪水下的冰块也会冲上水面
‪在三周的拍摄周期内 ‪可能只会出现一次
‪但冰块的掉落 意味着冰川在移动
‪可能会很快分崩离析
‪运输直升机将陆上摄制队投放到位
‪但另一架直升机上的空中摄制队 ‪延误了
‪他们只能建立营地并等待
‪这里有24小时的日照
‪冰川崩离的景象 无论何时都能拍摄
‪（余下20个拍摄日）
‪有更多崩裂了 刚才
‪是的 那边也是
‪快要发生了
‪对
‪（余下16个拍摄日）
‪现在已经差不多午夜了
‪但还有明亮的日光
‪如果你不受光线影响的话
‪这种声音也让你无法入睡
‪你在帐篷里会觉得这种声音更响
‪你跑到外面 一切归于平静 ‪但你回到帐篷之后
‪就像这样
‪他们看到越来越多的冰块跌落
‪但空中摄制队还没到达
‪今天太阳出来 然后冰川也苏醒了
‪（余下13个拍摄日）
‪我们一直在焦急等待 ‪怕冰川在他们到达前就崩解
‪正在建立
‪（加利福利亚湾 墨西哥）
‪在空中拍摄 并不总是需要直升飞机
‪摄制队在公海上用了其他办法
‪谢谢
‪是的 就这个 诱饵
‪好了 我能看到诱饵 很好
‪曝光不错
‪现在移动 固定好诱饵 来了
‪好了 下降
‪野生动物在公开海域的壮观场面 ‪很难预判
‪而且转瞬即逝
‪从空中拍摄这些画面 是一大挑战
‪因为直升飞机不能远离陆地
‪下降 跟着诱饵
‪保持住 准备回到船上了
‪-上升了对吗？ ‪-是的
‪现在 有了最新的无人机
‪-再下去一点 ‪-可以吗？
‪看起来很棒
‪我们最终可以获得一个空中视觉
‪观察转瞬即逝的事件
‪远在公海之上
‪我们第一次有足够速度的无人机
‪（晓治·皮尔逊 导演）
‪而且小而实用 能从船上起飞
‪当我们远离陆地几千里
‪这为我们创造了大量机会 ‪这很让人兴奋
‪摄制队来到墨西哥的加利福利亚湾
‪这是世上观察蓝鲸最棒的地方
‪蓝鲸
‪那是第一只蓝鲸
‪刚才发现的 这真的是无比巨大
‪对于蓝鲸这基本上是第一个 ‪想到的形容
‪真的无比巨大
‪哇
‪我的天
‪来了 上来了
‪这是个好开始 ‪但摄制队有更大的目标
‪要从空中拍摄蓝鲸母亲和幼鲸
‪无人机准备好 出发
‪拍摄是二人合作
‪赫克托负责无人机飞行 ‪奥利负责摄像头
‪他们必须让无人机就位
‪然后研究拍摄的最佳高度和方向
‪保持这个位置
‪蓝鲸只会露出水面两到三分钟
‪然后下潜约15分钟
‪要准备好一切 时间要求很紧
‪-看不到 ‪-那边
‪不要向太阳扭转太多
‪阳光太猛烈
‪太多了 我们重新再来
‪她下潜了
‪真快
‪她走了
‪（俄罗斯北极海岸）
‪这房间很小

‪这个桶
‪我们在里面拉屎
‪很赞
‪那是赫克托 帕特里克

‪这是我们吃饭 睡觉
‪让东西干燥 保暖的地方
‪大家都在这里睡觉
‪一 二 三个人睡在这里
‪非常奢侈
‪就这样吗？参观就这样？
‪是的 参观就这样 没别的东西
‪然后是外面 外面有很多
‪活死人之夜
‪是的
‪丧尸攻击 我们要保护好家园
‪丧尸
‪现在是午夜 我们被吵醒
‪这个小屋现在被海象包围
‪你可以看到很多小洞 ‪发电机也关掉了
‪门上有裂缝
‪那边还有另一个洞
‪我们完全被海象包围了 真神奇
‪你可以听到两边都有拍击声 ‪感觉小屋在摇晃
‪听到它们的长牙抵在墙上
‪真的很神奇
‪让人兴奋的是 我们希望它们过来
‪是的 很不错
‪就像是被五万名伍基人包围一样
‪如果不知道它们是什么 ‪就真的很吓人
‪当摄制队来到俄罗斯
‪拍摄全球最大的海象聚集地
‪他们没想到会遇到海象来敲门
‪整个海滩都被塞满了
‪问题是整个小屋都被包围了
‪到处都是海象
‪它们挡住了所有出口
‪只有一个地方适合拍摄
‪我们只能在屋顶拍摄
‪各种天气情况都有 阳光 ‪下雪还有冰雹
‪一天内看到各种天气
‪在恶劣天气 屋顶拍摄有局限性
‪摄制队在等待
‪一个合适的机会可以让无人机上天
‪现在天气稍微好转 到处都是海象
‪它们中间也出现了通道
‪我们打算让无人机起飞 ‪拍摄这个壮观的景象
‪是的 沿着海岸线
‪难以置信的数量
‪可以看到成千上万的海象
‪整个海滩都是满的 悬崖也是
‪还有几千只在水里
‪只有在天空上才能看到这个盛况
‪超过十万只海象 在一个海滩
‪它们都走光了
‪才过了一晚 都走光了
‪难以置信 八万头海象
‪占据了整个海滩的每一个角落
‪但现在空空荡荡的
‪一个晚上的事情 真神奇
‪（加利福利亚湾 墨西哥）
‪它在那边
‪它上来了
‪-你起飞吗？ ‪-那是我们
‪好的 往前
‪它在那里
‪-好的 猛往左转 ‪-猛往左转
‪猛往左转
‪在理想状况下
‪鲸鱼不受无人机干扰
‪摄制队能拍到这些亲密的特写画面
‪-对 拍摄中 去右边 ‪-右边
‪保持住
‪他们甚至拍到了蓝鲸在喂食
‪一直到喉部 满是水和磷虾
‪它在喂食
‪-往前一点 ‪-慢慢来
‪看起来它很近了
‪哇
‪我们拍到了一条在喂食的鲸鱼 ‪看到了全貌
‪哇 开始吧
‪继续拍 很好
‪对
‪母亲和幼鲸 来吧
‪-对 ‪-准备好了吗？
‪对
‪就这个 往上 左边一点
‪-左边 ‪-很好
‪不要扭转
‪继续往前

‪好的 画面很美
‪我要这个角度拍 保持住
‪好的 保持住
‪对 很棒 很漂亮
‪我们慢慢接近 保持住 拍到了 ‪别担心
‪回来 回来 慢慢跟着他
‪很漂亮 就是这样
‪它向着无人机过来 ‪我们和它保持直线
‪你可以看到它的脸
‪哇 这真可爱
‪看到幼鲸的样子
‪它藏在母亲下面 然后又出来
‪那种行为真是…
‪我想没有比这更棒的了

‪希望能在时间用完前 看到冰川崩解
‪（余下4个拍摄日）
‪所有东西都准备好了
‪太阳会出来
‪冰川会崩解 我们会拍下这些画面
‪（余下2个拍摄日）
‪在最后一天
‪通常是会这样的
‪是的 底部又有一块上来了
‪右边过去一点
‪-哪里？ ‪-右边 右边一点
‪-我们看到… ‪-看 那边
‪如果是我的话就拍全景
‪哇 看看那一个
‪升起来了 那根冰柱
‪好的 我们准备好出发
‪好的 马迪奥 让我们知道你看到什么
‪好 我们会告知下面的活动情况 完毕
‪好 我去拍细部镜头 你们负责全景？
‪好的 一直往前
‪是不是拱门上方那一块要掉下来了？
‪他们必须靠近拍摄
‪我不想这么靠近前面这堵冰墙
‪但多近才算近？
‪好 我们现在尝试往上越过它
‪我们飞高一点
‪飞行员躲避着卡车大小的冰块
‪很明显即将有大事发生
‪杰米 左边摄像头
‪（余下1小时拍摄）
‪整个正面都崩解了
‪前面大概一公里的冰块脱落
‪半公里的水下冰块
‪开始涌上海面
‪尚·米歇尔 尽量带我们靠近
‪好的 保持这条线路 稳住
‪那很棒
‪我们能降低一点吗？
‪好 真的很好
‪尚·米歇尔 拉起来
‪飞行员要围绕7千5百吨冰块
‪崩解撞击海湾
‪更宽一点
‪好 真的很好
‪好了 我们再绕一圈 可以的话
‪能从左边滑过去吗？
‪看起来真壮观
‪难以置信 从未看过这样的
‪我们就在冰山周围转圈
‪我们想你看看 还有没有更多 ‪崩解的场景
‪是的 我们会的 但是…
‪真的难以置信
‪从直升机上看感觉如何？
‪很神奇
‪就像是电视游戏 老实说
‪在那边的一块 然后整座山
‪好像从海里升起 然后翻过来转过去
‪你看到我们飞到高处 ‪是不是崩解了？
‪-我们想拍整个平面 ‪-对
‪-我们在看… ‪-然后看到…
‪有大动作 整个正面都塌了
‪我们都惊呆了
‪-我看到了 对的 ‪-第二次的崩解很大规模
‪就在直升飞机的左边
‪-我忘了 ‪-他就说 拉远一点
‪那个时候你想后退吗？
‪某一刻确实是的 ‪因为我在镜子里看到冰山
‪然后他说 赶紧拉起来！哇！
‪我只能听到亚当说 过来 ‪左边摄像头 不！
‪杰米在后面 我的天！我的天！
‪这是我看过最神奇的景象 ‪不用说还要拍摄了
‪是的 真的很值得
‪-精彩绝伦 ‪-对
‪真棒
‪对 我们去喝茶吧
‪真棒
‪在俄罗斯海岸
‪极地的名人出现了
‪这个北极熊国家
‪幸好 俄罗斯海象生物学家‪ ‪安东尼·哥切尼
‪在躲避北极熊方面不是新手
‪他有自己的独门秘技来应付
‪一根长棍
‪我往前刺 它会站在原地
‪绕着刺
‪对
‪是的
‪我就是北极熊
‪对
‪唯一担心的是 我们只有一根棍子 ‪那边有12只熊
‪你从这边看过去
‪但我相信安东尼
‪我相信科学
‪走吧
‪我不确定现在该往前走
‪安东尼的长棍技巧
‪融合了对北极熊多年的了解
‪让它们留在堤岸上
‪它们又胖又开心
‪这里的熊都很放松
‪它们就这样走过你 完全无视我们
‪而且如果它们闻到你的气味 ‪会走开一点
‪和你保持一点距离 它们真的很放松
‪既然北极熊表现放松 ‪摄制队可以集中注意力在海象身上
‪它们开始回到岸上
‪但他们没想到接下来发生的事
‪海象爬到悬崖的顶部
‪为了避开下面的挤压
‪我不明白 它们为何爬上去？
‪就像是…
‪它们在山崖上最陡峭的位置
‪它们在80米高的悬崖顶部休息
‪为了觅食它们会再次回到海里
‪最后那小部分 真的很陡峭 它们…
‪真的很陡峭 那一小片地方
‪我的天
‪慢点
‪有一只要掉下去了
‪那只在边缘的
‪这是我拍过最糟糕的画面
‪它们就不应该爬上去
‪这不是进化所带来的稳定变化
‪我完全不明白
‪这真的很可怕
‪就这样…
‪完全无法理解原因
‪它可以看到海里的同伴 ‪可能想去找它们
‪然后不知道…
‪会跌下去 我想 我不知道
‪我还是很低落 但今天真的很生气
‪这样的事情太荒谬了
‪它们不是被推倒或被踩踏 ‪就这样平静走下悬崖
‪大概有两百或者三百死的海象
‪就分布在0.8公里的海滩上
‪它们累坏了 因为要游泳160多公里
‪去获得食物 然后回到这个地方 ‪只有这里可以休息
‪它们以前在冰面上休息 下潜 觅食 ‪然后回到冰面 很容易
‪但是现在它们要游一百多公里 ‪回到这地方 爬上悬崖
‪然后因为力尽而跌落
‪要么跌死 要么相互踩踏而死
‪因为有成千上万的海象 ‪在这么小一个海滩上
‪北极熊完全可以饱餐一顿
‪但它们都还没被北极熊攻击 ‪它们就跌死了
‪这就是自杀 ‪因为它们没法从悬崖下来
‪它们本来就不应该爬上去
‪这就是气候变化带来的悲惨现实
‪如果可以的话 它们应该在冰面上
‪但它们别无选择 只能上岸
‪它们对自己造成伤害
‪看到这一切真的很难受
‪就是…
‪事情不是…
‪不是很快就结束生命
‪它们就是跌倒 受到内伤 ‪然后躺在那里
‪这真让人心碎
‪真的很伤心
