00:00:21.104 --> 00:00:23.774
NARRATOR: The continent of Antarctica
4
00:00:23.941 --> 00:00:27.444
is unbelievably vast and inhospitable.
5
00:00:28.612 --> 00:00:31.031
It's the coldest place on Earth.
6
00:00:35.035 --> 00:00:36.286
But each spring,
7
00:00:36.453 --> 00:00:39.498
the warming sun draws life
from the southern ocean
8
00:00:39.665 --> 00:00:41.500
onto the edges of the continent,
9
00:00:42.626 --> 00:00:46.547
and it becomes home to one
of the toughest birds on the planet,
10
00:00:47.881 --> 00:00:49.299
the Adelie penguin.
11
00:00:50.926 --> 00:00:54.638
To chronicle the amazing story
of these polar pioneers,
12
00:00:55.013 --> 00:00:58.684
Disneynature mounted one of the biggest
filming operations
13
00:00:58.850 --> 00:01:00.435
Antarctica has ever seen,
14
00:01:01.436 --> 00:01:03.855
assembling a unique team of filmmakers,
15
00:01:04.356 --> 00:01:08.443
including some of the best
cinematographers in the world.
16
00:01:14.324 --> 00:01:17.661
They'll face the worst
that Mother Nature can throw at them,
17
00:01:17.828 --> 00:01:20.080
and still come back for more.
18
00:01:20.789 --> 00:01:21.832
Whoo!
19
00:01:22.457 --> 00:01:25.335
NARRATOR: The penguins
are on a mission of their own.
20
00:01:25.502 --> 00:01:26.503
(PENGUINS GAKKING)
21
00:01:26.670 --> 00:01:28.964
Ah, these penguins.
Would you stand in the frame? They just...
22
00:01:29.131 --> 00:01:30.340
Oh...
23
00:01:30.507 --> 00:01:32.134
I can't believe this.
24
00:01:33.468 --> 00:01:35.429
NARRATOR:
They can be wary of strangers.
25
00:01:36.013 --> 00:01:39.182
I'm gonna be hiding
in their colony like this.
26
00:01:39.349 --> 00:01:41.018
(LAUGHS)
27
00:01:41.184 --> 00:01:43.020
NARRATOR: And finding them isn't easy.
28
00:01:43.186 --> 00:01:45.105
MAN: Which way
was the penguin colony again?
29
00:01:45.272 --> 00:01:49.192
NARRATOR: But these filmmakers know
what it takes to capture every moment
30
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.236
of this magical story.
31
00:01:51.403 --> 00:01:52.821
Oh, that was a penguin.
32
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:54.323
Aye.
33
00:01:54.948 --> 00:01:57.200
That could have been
the Oscar-winning shot.
34
00:01:58.118 --> 00:01:59.161
Just missed it.

(GAKKING)
37
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.391
NARRATOR: The Adelies have spent
the winter out at sea.
38
00:02:23.727 --> 00:02:26.271
Now they're heading back to land to breed.
39
00:02:28.607 --> 00:02:32.319
It's the green light the Disneynature team
has been waiting for.
40
00:02:36.865 --> 00:02:40.535
More than 20 cinematographers
will attempt to film the penguins' lives
41
00:02:40.702 --> 00:02:42.871
in unparalleled detail.
42
00:02:44.706 --> 00:02:47.918
They'll travel vast distances
to find those subjects,
43
00:02:49.044 --> 00:02:52.339
carrying with them
over ten tons of filming equipment.
44
00:02:55.133 --> 00:02:56.885
(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)
45
00:02:57.052 --> 00:02:59.596
They will spend months
in some of the coldest
46
00:02:59.763 --> 00:03:02.557
and most isolated places on the planet.
47
00:03:04.059 --> 00:03:07.145
And they'll depend on hundreds
of support staff
48
00:03:07.312 --> 00:03:08.814
from eight different nations
49
00:03:08.980 --> 00:03:11.692
to get them there and keep them alive.
50
00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:16.488
The first camera team
left England a week ago,
51
00:03:16.655 --> 00:03:19.116
heading for a staging post in New Zealand.
52
00:03:20.951 --> 00:03:22.911
They then flew to Ross Island
53
00:03:23.078 --> 00:03:26.081
and the US Antarctic Research Base
at McMurdo.
54
00:03:27.082 --> 00:03:29.668
Now the final leg
of their grueling journey
55
00:03:29.835 --> 00:03:33.964
is taking them across the island
to the remote Cape Crozier.
56
00:03:37.342 --> 00:03:39.177
Each year, Crozier becomes home
57
00:03:39.344 --> 00:03:42.347
to the largest Adelie penguin colony
on the planet.
58
00:03:43.014 --> 00:03:46.852
The crew is racing to get there
before the penguins do.
59
00:03:47.436 --> 00:03:50.647
Mark Smith is a cinematographer
who has filmed here before,
60
00:03:51.273 --> 00:03:52.733
as has Jeff Wilson,
61
00:03:52.899 --> 00:03:55.861
the team's leader
and one of the film's directors.
62
00:03:59.114 --> 00:04:02.743
So, two years of planning has gone
into this moment right now,
63
00:04:02.909 --> 00:04:05.454
trying to get all the logistics,
all the people,
64
00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:08.290
all the equipment, and the weather correct
65
00:04:08.957 --> 00:04:11.209
in order to drop us into this base
that we're going,
66
00:04:11.752 --> 00:04:14.254
has been an enormous effort.
67
00:04:15.464 --> 00:04:18.592
NARRATOR: This barren mountain
will be the main filming location
68
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.135
for the next few months.
69
00:04:21.136 --> 00:04:24.848
Both Mark and Jeff
know the harsh conditions that lie ahead.
70
00:04:25.307 --> 00:04:28.226
It's like a midsummer's day down here,
it's about minus 18.
71
00:04:28.935 --> 00:04:30.145
Nice and warm.
72
00:04:31.062 --> 00:04:35.150
NARRATOR: For Antarctica,
it's actually unseasonably calm and sunny.
73
00:04:35.942 --> 00:04:39.196
MAN: Man, I can't believe the weather.
I've never seen it like this here, ever.
74
00:04:39.362 --> 00:04:40.947
WOMAN: Yeah, this is beautiful.
75
00:04:41.525 --> 00:04:42.885
-MAN: Okay, good to go.
-WOMAN: Are you good?
76
00:04:43.200 --> 00:04:45.327
-MAN: Have fun, guys.
-JEFF: Thank you very much, mate.
77
00:04:45.494 --> 00:04:47.037
MAN: You're welcome. See you soon.
78
00:04:53.293 --> 00:04:54.377
-Whoo!
-Whoo!
79
00:04:54.544 --> 00:04:55.629
-Yeah.
-(CHUCKLES)
80
00:04:55.796 --> 00:04:56.797
Awesome.

00:04:58.340 --> 00:04:59.382
How about that?

00:04:59.549 --> 00:05:01.051
(LAUGHS)
84
00:05:01.218 --> 00:05:02.219
JEFF: We made it.
85
00:05:02.385 --> 00:05:04.346
MARK: That is the best feeling ever.
86
00:05:05.055 --> 00:05:07.516
Landing here is pretty amazing.
87
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:09.768
This is our home.
88
00:05:10.811 --> 00:05:13.772
NARRATOR: It's been eight months
since this base was operational,
89
00:05:14.231 --> 00:05:17.359
so the crew's first priority
is to rebuild the camp.
90
00:05:18.527 --> 00:05:20.153
-Jeff.
-NARRATOR: They also have to carry
91
00:05:20.362 --> 00:05:23.740
the film kit, piece by piece,
to the penguin colony.
92
00:05:25.033 --> 00:05:27.661
It's about a mile walk down to the colony
93
00:05:27.828 --> 00:05:33.500
and we're just taking some of our gear,
some of the 5,000 pounds
94
00:05:33.917 --> 00:05:35.752
of gear that we brought in with us.
95
00:05:36.044 --> 00:05:38.588
The camera, tripod, and what have you,
96
00:05:38.797 --> 00:05:40.882
we're gonna stash that down at the colony
97
00:05:41.049 --> 00:05:43.343
so we don't have to bring it back
and forth each day.
98
00:05:43.510 --> 00:05:45.971
Jeff, why aren't you carrying
as much as the rest of us?
99
00:05:46.304 --> 00:05:48.098
(LAUGHS)
100
00:05:49.766 --> 00:05:53.520
NARRATOR: Mark and Jeff hope to capture
the beginning of the Adelies' story:
101
00:05:53.854 --> 00:05:58.149
the return of males across the sea ice,
on their way to their nesting grounds.
102
00:06:00.235 --> 00:06:03.363
But have they made it ahead
of the penguins?
103
00:06:05.156 --> 00:06:06.575
JEFF: What do you think, Mark?
104
00:06:07.701 --> 00:06:10.245
It's pretty amazing. It's incredible.
105
00:06:10.829 --> 00:06:14.207
There's a few hundred penguins
of quarter of a million penguins here.
106
00:06:14.374 --> 00:06:15.375
(PENGUINS GAK)
107
00:06:15.542 --> 00:06:18.044
Most of them are still out in the sea
108
00:06:18.962 --> 00:06:21.131
and coming back here in the next few days.
109
00:06:21.506 --> 00:06:25.510
And the penguins have to pass through here
to get to the colony,
110
00:06:26.469 --> 00:06:30.765
and hopefully, they'll come back
through all this amazing ice.
111
00:06:32.517 --> 00:06:35.520
NARRATOR: Each year,
the sea around Antarctica freezes.
112
00:06:36.563 --> 00:06:40.442
By midwinter, it more than doubles
the size of the continent,
113
00:06:40.901 --> 00:06:43.820
and then melts away again each summer.
114
00:06:44.946 --> 00:06:48.617
This year, that melt is slower than usual.
115
00:06:50.619 --> 00:06:55.624
The ice is about six kilometers out there,
so most normal years,
116
00:06:55.790 --> 00:06:57.751
it's about half that, more or less.
117
00:06:58.418 --> 00:07:01.004
It's a long way for the Adelies to walk.
118
00:07:01.171 --> 00:07:02.380
(PENGUINS GAK)

(GAKKING)
120
00:07:12.307 --> 00:07:14.559
MARK: There's a lot of Adelies
going through that ice there.
121
00:07:14.726 --> 00:07:16.311
Very beautiful. Blue ice,
122
00:07:17.187 --> 00:07:19.230
black and white Adelies, looks amazing.
123
00:07:19.898 --> 00:07:21.900
NARRATOR:
With hundreds of males arriving
124
00:07:22.067 --> 00:07:25.111
and the good weather holding,
it's the perfect start.
125
00:07:27.405 --> 00:07:29.324
(GAKKING)
126
00:07:30.867 --> 00:07:33.495
But Mark and Jeff had been here
many times
127
00:07:33.662 --> 00:07:37.582
and know that conditions can change
in a matter of minutes.
128
00:07:39.584 --> 00:07:45.006
So the Adelies are finally coming down
in huge numbers,
129
00:07:45.507 --> 00:07:47.550
which is exactly what we came here for,
130
00:07:47.717 --> 00:07:50.720
and then Mark is trying to film them.
131
00:07:51.221 --> 00:07:52.514
But here's the dilemma.
132
00:07:53.264 --> 00:07:58.269
Up on the top of the hill up there,
it's starting to blow an enormous gale.

(STRONG WINDS BLOWING)
134
00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:02.232
And the winds here can get pretty strong.
135
00:08:03.817 --> 00:08:08.905
So whilst we've got all this action,
we're, um, on a bit of a line
136
00:08:09.072 --> 00:08:14.202
as to whether to head for home
or stay and get some good stuff.
137
00:08:15.453 --> 00:08:19.040
NARRATOR: It quickly becomes clear
that staying is not an option.
138
00:08:20.417 --> 00:08:22.752
That's, uh... blowing snow,
139
00:08:23.169 --> 00:08:26.548
which... (LAUGHS)
which puts the fear of God into me.
140
00:08:28.299 --> 00:08:30.760
And that means that this
is, uh, some strong winds.
141
00:08:31.302 --> 00:08:33.388
You never quite know how strong they are.
142
00:08:33.555 --> 00:08:34.806
We're going to leave.
143
00:08:35.640 --> 00:08:37.434

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
152
00:09:46.711 --> 00:09:49.714
NARRATOR: At last, they reached
the safety of their camp,
153
00:09:50.173 --> 00:09:51.841
but it was a narrow escape.
154
00:09:52.509 --> 00:09:54.719
(SIGHS) Whew!
155
00:09:56.012 --> 00:09:57.180
Quite punchy.
156
00:09:58.348 --> 00:10:00.141
Just a bit of breeze, isn't it?
157
00:10:05.688 --> 00:10:09.400
NARRATOR: The storm vanishes
as quickly as it arrives.

(GAKKING)
159
00:10:12.028 --> 00:10:14.864
The next morning,
it's as if it never happened.
160
00:10:16.032 --> 00:10:17.951
It seems all kind of very benign
161
00:10:18.118 --> 00:10:20.787
now that we're sitting back in the colony
the next morning, but...
162
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.750
it came pretty close
to being serious last night.
163
00:10:27.293 --> 00:10:30.421
And I don't think we wanna try
and test that wind again.
164
00:10:32.132 --> 00:10:34.300
And there were times where I was thinking,
165
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.594
"I'm not sure I can take this anymore."
166
00:10:37.595 --> 00:10:38.680
(SNIFFLES)
167
00:10:38.847 --> 00:10:40.140
I was that tired.
168
00:10:40.306 --> 00:10:42.308
I don't think I've ever been
that physically tired
169
00:10:42.475 --> 00:10:43.852
when we got back to the hut.
170
00:10:44.811 --> 00:10:45.979
And you know what?
171
00:10:46.146 --> 00:10:50.275
If it had been any colder,
we would have been in real, real trouble.
172
00:10:51.484 --> 00:10:56.072
The most amazing thing about a storm
is the penguins didn't mind at all.
173
00:10:57.115 --> 00:10:59.450
The colony seems to be about
twice as full,
174
00:10:59.617 --> 00:11:01.953
so more penguins came in
through those winds,
175
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.622
which must have topped
a hundred miles an hour at least.
176
00:11:04.956 --> 00:11:07.584
They were still going
about their business,
177
00:11:07.750 --> 00:11:10.253
which is unbelievable, really.

00:11:11.171 --> 00:11:13.423

180
00:11:16.801 --> 00:11:19.929
NARRATOR: Cape Crozier is the main
location for the penguins' story,
181
00:11:20.096 --> 00:11:23.725
and will be filmed throughout the season
by three different camera crews.

183
00:11:26.060 --> 00:11:29.606
But it's not the only colony
the Disneynature team will film.
184
00:11:31.524 --> 00:11:34.152
Another film crew is sailing south
from Australia
185
00:11:34.319 --> 00:11:36.237
on an ice-breaking resupply ship.
186
00:11:36.571 --> 00:11:39.240
They're heading for the sea ice barrier
187
00:11:39.407 --> 00:11:44.621
and the French research base
of Dumont d'Urville, or DDU.
188
00:11:45.455 --> 00:11:50.335
Their three tons of camera
and diving equipment has to travel by sea.
189
00:11:52.045 --> 00:11:56.299
But two of the crew are able to fly in
ahead of the others by small plane.
190
00:11:56.466 --> 00:11:58.384
(PLANE ENGINE WHIRRING)
191
00:12:01.596 --> 00:12:03.806
Their weight restriction only allows
for some clothes
192
00:12:03.973 --> 00:12:05.808
and a single small camera.
193
00:12:06.434 --> 00:12:09.103
It's their first time in Antarctica.
194
00:12:09.270 --> 00:12:10.855
MAN: What do you reckon, Rolf?
195
00:12:11.231 --> 00:12:12.815
Look at that. I mean...
196
00:12:14.359 --> 00:12:17.904
There are icebergs frozen in the sea,
197
00:12:18.071 --> 00:12:19.364
I mean, wow.
198
00:12:19.530 --> 00:12:22.242
I'm a little bit speechless,
I have to admit.
199
00:12:27.330 --> 00:12:29.666
Can't see any penguins yet.
(CHUCKLES)
200
00:12:30.416 --> 00:12:33.169
But that's not such a bad thing,
because at the moment all our camera kit
201
00:12:33.336 --> 00:12:35.755
is stuck out about 200 kilometers
that way,
202
00:12:35.922 --> 00:12:38.091
on the boat with the rest of the team.
203
00:12:38.800 --> 00:12:40.551
Fingers crossed they get here soon,
204
00:12:40.718 --> 00:12:42.720
because without cameras,
we can't do anything.
205
00:12:44.764 --> 00:12:47.141
NARRATOR: The boat they're waiting for,
the Astrolabe,
206
00:12:47.308 --> 00:12:50.395
hits early spring ice
far sooner than expected.
207
00:12:54.023 --> 00:12:55.566
In addition to the equipment,
208
00:12:55.733 --> 00:13:00.280
it's also carrying much-needed supplies
for all those living at DDU.
209
00:13:05.285 --> 00:13:09.539
On board is underwater filming legend
Didier Noirot,
210
00:13:10.164 --> 00:13:13.084
who has dived in Antarctica
many times before.
211
00:13:14.711 --> 00:13:17.964
Normally, crossing from Australia
takes ten days,
212
00:13:18.131 --> 00:13:22.927
but this season, the ship is struggling
against the unusually thick sea ice.
213
00:13:30.310 --> 00:13:32.979
The closer they get,
and the further south they go,
214
00:13:33.271 --> 00:13:35.148
the thicker the ice becomes.
215
00:13:38.484 --> 00:13:41.154
Their progress grows slower day by day...
216
00:13:46.034 --> 00:13:48.661
until finally, they can go no further.
217
00:13:50.288 --> 00:13:51.414
They're stuck
218
00:13:52.206 --> 00:13:54.876
and the mission hangs in the balance.

(IN FRENCH)
220
00:14:15.813 --> 00:14:18.775
NARRATOR: The research base
is still several days away.
221
00:14:20.109 --> 00:14:23.488
They have no choice but to wait
until the weather improves.
222
00:14:25.031 --> 00:14:27.492
While Rolf and Max must wait
for their cameras,
223
00:14:27.867 --> 00:14:30.161
they are no longer waiting on the Adelies.
224
00:14:31.913 --> 00:14:33.748
The main base is up here.
225
00:14:33.915 --> 00:14:36.751
It's amazing,
it's one of the only bases down here
226
00:14:36.918 --> 00:14:39.337
that's actually surrounded
by a penguin colony,
227
00:14:39.504 --> 00:14:40.505
so it's ideal for us.
228
00:14:40.671 --> 00:14:43.216
This is luxury,
because we only have a short stroll
229
00:14:43.383 --> 00:14:45.635
and we're right in the colony itself,
230
00:14:45.802 --> 00:14:50.139
and they've got Emperor penguins
just over this direction,
231
00:14:50.306 --> 00:14:52.767
but we're completely surrounded
by Adelies.

(GAKKING)
233
00:14:54.894 --> 00:14:57.688
NARRATOR: They still have no idea
when they'll be able to start filming.
234
00:14:59.524 --> 00:15:03.569
I mean, it's a little bit of a disaster
that we can't get our cameras,
235
00:15:03.736 --> 00:15:07.698
because they are out there on the boat
and we can't do anything.
236
00:15:07.865 --> 00:15:11.744
So, uh, we can get really familiar
with the area,
237
00:15:12.203 --> 00:15:14.163
really familiar with the behavior,
238
00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:18.042
but in the worst case, it's...
it's over when the cameras are here.
239
00:15:18.209 --> 00:15:23.214
So, fingers crossed
that, uh, the boat will come soon.
240
00:15:26.175 --> 00:15:29.512
NARRATOR: The Astrolabe is marooned
in a sea of ice.
241
00:15:30.012 --> 00:15:33.516
The chances of sailing to DDU
are fading fast.
242
00:15:37.687 --> 00:15:41.107
But a window of fine weather
gives Didier and the underwater team
243
00:15:41.274 --> 00:15:44.068
an opportunity to get ashore
by different means.
244
00:15:57.957 --> 00:16:03.212
Now the true extent
of the sea ice becomes clear.
245
00:16:08.426 --> 00:16:09.969
I can hear a helicopter.

Finally, finally, we got everything.
In amongst a load of science kit.

it's here, a camera.

We can finally start filming.
268
00:17:56.242 --> 00:17:57.577
NARRATOR: DDU has been chosen
269
00:17:57.743 --> 00:18:00.580
because it allows the team
to film the Adelie penguins
270
00:18:00.746 --> 00:18:03.541
on and beneath the thick sea ice.
271
00:18:04.917 --> 00:18:06.043
Okay.

00:18:06.961 --> 00:18:09.672
There's a big group coming there. Wow.

that are now returning from sea,

heading to the colony,
and the males awaiting them.
275
00:18:18.889 --> 00:18:21.017
ROLF: I often go for a process where
276
00:18:21.183 --> 00:18:23.978
I try to simply get into the mind space
277
00:18:24.145 --> 00:18:26.063
of the protagonist that I'm filming.
278
00:18:26.230 --> 00:18:30.359
In this case, it's a penguin
who has decided to breed
279
00:18:30.526 --> 00:18:34.238
in one of the most remote
and toughest places in the world, and...
280
00:18:35.114 --> 00:18:36.824
their supermarket is the sea,
281
00:18:36.991 --> 00:18:38.242
that's where they get their food,
282
00:18:38.409 --> 00:18:40.202
and the sea ice is very thick this year,
283
00:18:40.369 --> 00:18:42.622
so it's a long walk to the supermarket.
284
00:18:42.788 --> 00:18:45.541
And, uh, we go back to our base.
285
00:18:45.708 --> 00:18:47.418
As a chef, he has made the food.
286
00:18:47.585 --> 00:18:49.086
And we don't have to think about that.
287
00:18:49.253 --> 00:18:52.381
But these guys,
they know they have to find the sea
288
00:18:52.548 --> 00:18:55.926
and they have to find a lot of food,
otherwise, they will never survive,
289
00:18:56.093 --> 00:18:57.219
so it's serious business,
290
00:18:57.386 --> 00:19:00.181
and we try to capture that.
291
00:19:00.556 --> 00:19:01.682
So...
292
00:19:02.391 --> 00:19:04.769
I definitely have a lot of respect
for those

a unique, new look for the film
298
00:19:16.572 --> 00:19:19.116
that captures a penguin's-eye view
of the story.

that's more at home in Hollywood
than Antarctica.

MAX: Everything here is really tough.
302
00:19:29.585 --> 00:19:31.462
I mean, we're using cameras,
we're using equipment
303
00:19:31.629 --> 00:19:34.048
that you'd normally use
on a feature film set,
304
00:19:34.215 --> 00:19:36.550
but using them here,
at the end of the world,
305
00:19:36.717 --> 00:19:38.010
is almost impossible
306
00:19:38.177 --> 00:19:42.264
because every time I step
on a piece of snow and break through,
307
00:19:42.556 --> 00:19:44.141
puts a wobble in the shot,
308
00:19:44.475 --> 00:19:47.478
the wind here is just relentless.
309
00:19:47.645 --> 00:19:49.897
We're getting 60, 70 mile-an-hour winds,
310
00:19:50.064 --> 00:19:53.693
and I think the best we've had
is a nice breezy 30 miles an hour,
311
00:19:53.859 --> 00:19:56.779
and you just can't even keep
the camera steady.
312
00:19:57.405 --> 00:20:00.825
And the whole point
of this ridiculously heavy rig is that
313

I can get stable shots moving with them.

but he needs to find somewhere

321
00:20:23.889 --> 00:20:29.395
The unusually thick spring ice means
there's no open water for many miles.

NARRATOR: The open sea is too far away,
325

so the dive team search for holes
in the ice closer to the base,

is home to a Weddell seal.

than any other mammal

these two species interact,

and you just see the different characters.
373
00:24:11.992 --> 00:24:14.954
He's not even as big
as some of Emperor chicks,
374
00:24:15.120 --> 00:24:18.374
but he's just barging
the full-sized adults out the way.

female Adelies
are heading to their colonies,
386

where the males are already busy
preparing their nests.

(GAKKING)
389
00:25:19.393 --> 00:25:22.980
...because Adelies need to lay their eggs
on solid ground.
390
00:25:23.647 --> 00:25:28.235
So, all the males have come back
into the colony by now,
391
00:25:28.694 --> 00:25:31.238
and they're fervently trying to build
their nests,
392
00:25:31.405 --> 00:25:33.699
and they build their nests
out of these little stones.
393
00:25:34.033 --> 00:25:37.870
In fact, Adelie penguin colonies
are only found where you find these stones
394
00:25:38.037 --> 00:25:40.956
because they need them
to lift their eggs off the ground
395
00:25:41.123 --> 00:25:43.417
for when the snow melts
so their eggs don't freeze.
396
00:25:44.084 --> 00:25:46.962
And all the males are going backwards
and forwards and backwards and forwards
397
00:25:47.129 --> 00:25:49.882
picking up rocks,
trying to build their nests up in time,
398

that he's actually standing,

looking, "Where can I find a rock?"
410
00:26:34.551 --> 00:26:37.679
And sometimes, they...
they just stand there for ages,
411
00:26:37.846 --> 00:26:39.973
and they just observe the area,
412
00:26:40.140 --> 00:26:41.850
and observe the area.

like, "Just looking around."

And then suddenly, bam, they just...
They run, they dive into the nest,

that the chick breaks the egg,

then that's it.

and it was still beautiful outside.

I woke up this morning
and we have more wind,

there's a lot happening in the colony.

create yet another obstacle.

00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:46.095
Uh, the point of having it on this nice
big boom is that we can just move it
692
00:46:46.637 --> 00:46:49.932
and just drift and follow the animal
in-frame as it enters and leaves.
693
00:46:51.267 --> 00:46:53.811
It looks great. The colors are beautiful.
694
00:46:54.061 --> 00:46:55.896
The water clarity is amazing.
695
00:47:14.498 --> 00:47:16.375
Oh... yes.
696
00:47:18.127 --> 00:47:19.211
Yes, Mark.
697
00:47:19.545 --> 00:47:21.130
There you go. Beautiful.
698
00:47:22.965 --> 00:47:24.133
This is amazing.
699
00:47:30.848 --> 00:47:32.016
Oh, mate.
700
00:47:32.933 --> 00:47:34.268
This is perfect.
701
00:47:34.518 --> 00:47:36.020
MARK: He's gonna come right next to you.
702
00:47:36.187 --> 00:47:37.480
Great guy, good guy.
703
00:47:38.397 --> 00:47:41.400
NARRATOR: Orca are hugely intelligent
social animals.
704
00:47:46.530 --> 00:47:50.201
And the strangers on the ice edge
arouse their curiosity.
705
00:47:51.952 --> 00:47:53.621
TOM: Oh, my goodness.
706
00:48:20.731 --> 00:48:21.857
TOM: Wow.
707
00:48:22.024 --> 00:48:23.692
-MARK: How was that, Tom?
-That was awesome.
708
00:48:23.859 --> 00:48:24.944
That was a bit of luck.
709
00:48:25.111 --> 00:48:27.488
I'd literally just dipped it in
and then a second later...
710
00:48:28.114 --> 00:48:29.156
I wasn't recording!
711
00:48:29.323 --> 00:48:30.825
I was. (LAUGHS)
712
00:48:30.991 --> 00:48:32.993
The look on Mark's face. (LAUGHS)
713
00:48:33.953 --> 00:48:35.329
Mate, we got it.
714
00:48:35.746 --> 00:48:38.791
-(WHALE WHISTLES)
-TOM: Whoa!
715
00:48:49.301 --> 00:48:53.264
NARRATOR: All around Antarctica,
the sea ice is breaking up.
716
00:49:00.980 --> 00:49:02.314
It's becoming much easier
717
00:49:02.481 --> 00:49:05.192
for the adult penguins
to get to their feeding grounds.
718
00:49:07.069 --> 00:49:13.075
And this constant supply of fish and krill
is helping their chicks grow rapidly.
719
00:49:19.665 --> 00:49:23.294
At Cape Crozier,
Matt has completed his time in the field
720
00:49:23.461 --> 00:49:27.882
and heads home to his loved ones
and a well-earned shower.
721
00:49:30.050 --> 00:49:33.304
He's handed it over to Sophie
for the last leg of filming.
722
00:49:33.929 --> 00:49:37.433
She's more used to working in Africa
than Antarctica.
723
00:49:39.018 --> 00:49:40.603
It's her first time.
724
00:49:41.020 --> 00:49:44.690
Nothing. Nothing can prepare you
for this landscape.
725
00:49:45.524 --> 00:49:47.985
It's exactly everything I wanted it to be.
726
00:49:48.152 --> 00:49:53.240
Just huge and dramatic and awe-inspiring
and terrifyingly beautiful.
727
00:49:54.658 --> 00:49:55.868
NARRATOR: Together with Julie,
728
00:49:56.035 --> 00:49:59.413
she's here to film
the final stages of the penguins' story.
729
00:50:00.414 --> 00:50:03.250
And it's love at first sight.
730
00:50:04.543 --> 00:50:07.546
They're just enchanting. They're so...
731
00:50:08.839 --> 00:50:11.258
Can't get enough of them.
We really can't. They're just heaven.
732
00:50:12.259 --> 00:50:13.844
It's a real treat to be here.
733
00:50:15.387 --> 00:50:17.223
They're relentless. They don't stop.
734
00:50:17.389 --> 00:50:18.974
I admire them for their tenacity.
735
00:50:19.141 --> 00:50:22.478
They're just up and down this hill,
just motoring,
736
00:50:22.645 --> 00:50:25.231
absolutely beetling up and down that hill.
737
00:50:25.648 --> 00:50:28.526
We do it a couple of times a day
and it nearly breaks us.
738
00:50:29.818 --> 00:50:31.529
I love their curiosity. Look at this.
739
00:50:31.695 --> 00:50:33.781
They're just sitting there.
They're completely cool.
740
00:50:33.948 --> 00:50:36.367
They're just happy to hang out with us
and let us be here.
741
00:50:36.534 --> 00:50:40.704
Slightly bewildered. I think they think
we're very, very tall, stupid penguins.
742
00:50:42.039 --> 00:50:44.041
Definitely the best bird
I have ever filmed.
743
00:50:44.208 --> 00:50:46.210
Really, really. They're just amazing.
744
00:50:48.629 --> 00:50:50.089
(GAKKING)
745
00:50:50.756 --> 00:50:53.008
NARRATOR:
The chicks are now several weeks old.
746
00:50:53.175 --> 00:50:54.885
They're constantly hungry.
747
00:50:55.344 --> 00:50:58.055
So when a parent arrives back
from a fishing trip,
748
00:50:58.222 --> 00:51:01.559
every chick in the neighborhood
tries to get in on the action.
749
00:51:20.953 --> 00:51:23.372
SOPHIE: Go on! You can get her. Go on!
750
00:51:39.013 --> 00:51:41.390
That is the funniest thing
you can ever see.
751
00:51:48.564 --> 00:51:52.067
If you imagine a Justin Bieber fan
in a gray, fluffy onesie
752
00:51:52.234 --> 00:51:54.111
chasing Justin Bieber for an autograph,
753
00:51:54.486 --> 00:51:58.157
that's the fervor with which those chicks
pursue their parents.
754
00:52:10.669 --> 00:52:12.463
NARRATOR: Sophie's mission
is to film the chicks
755
00:52:12.630 --> 00:52:14.673
as they get ready to leave the colony.
756
00:52:15.174 --> 00:52:18.344
It won't be long now
before they head out to sea.
757
00:52:19.637 --> 00:52:21.639
SOPHIE: I can't believe
the couple of weeks we've been here
758
00:52:21.805 --> 00:52:22.931
the changes we've seen,
759
00:52:23.098 --> 00:52:26.226
from the winter wonderland,
which was so incredibly beautiful.
760
00:52:26.935 --> 00:52:29.396
And I don't think either of us
had the faintest idea
761
00:52:29.563 --> 00:52:30.564
it would go so quickly.
762
00:52:30.731 --> 00:52:32.149
It really took us by surprise.
763
00:52:32.775 --> 00:52:35.944
One day to have this all ice,
just everything solid,
764
00:52:36.236 --> 00:52:39.615
and the next day, a bit broken,
the next day, gone.
765
00:52:40.157 --> 00:52:41.784
Um, the change is so quick.
766
00:52:42.910 --> 00:52:45.704
The chicks are beginning
to change their plumage.
767
00:52:46.372 --> 00:52:49.875
The adults are spending less and less time
up in the colony.
768
00:52:50.209 --> 00:52:51.460
The ice is all gone.
769
00:52:51.627 --> 00:52:54.213
We're down to a kind of
shingly, pebbly beach.
770
00:52:55.464 --> 00:52:56.632
And now, look.
771
00:52:56.799 --> 00:52:58.092
Open ocean.
772
00:53:00.678 --> 00:53:03.055
NARRATOR: A few hundred miles
north of Sophie,
773
00:53:03.222 --> 00:53:05.015
another film team has arrived.
774
00:53:05.182 --> 00:53:08.852
The open ocean and good weather
are what they've been waiting for.
775
00:53:10.020 --> 00:53:11.897
It's the aerial team.
776
00:53:13.107 --> 00:53:17.820
Until now, summer storms have made it
too rough and windy to launch.
777
00:53:21.615 --> 00:53:23.701
ALASTAIR: Finally, after days of waiting,
778
00:53:23.867 --> 00:53:26.578
we really now, tonight,
have the perfect conditions.
779
00:53:26.745 --> 00:53:28.622
Absolutely no breeze at all.
780
00:53:28.789 --> 00:53:30.374
Amazing clear skies.
781
00:53:30.541 --> 00:53:32.167
Beautiful sunlight on the mountains.
782
00:53:32.334 --> 00:53:34.545
And we're now just getting
the helicopter ready.
783
00:53:34.712 --> 00:53:36.422
We'll take off in about half an hour,
784
00:53:36.588 --> 00:53:38.382
and we'll spend
up to four hours in the air
785
00:53:38.549 --> 00:53:40.759
trying to capture this amazing scenery.
786
00:53:45.305 --> 00:53:46.724
-ALASTAIR: Okay, good?
-MARCELO: Yeah.
787
00:53:46.890 --> 00:53:48.267
-Ready to go.
-Yeah, ready.
788
00:53:48.767 --> 00:53:52.396
We got the 360
and the forward cameras running.
789
00:53:53.355 --> 00:53:57.109
NARRATOR: Their task is to film
Antarctica's majestic mountains
790
00:53:57.401 --> 00:54:00.362
and icebergs freed
from the melting sea ice.
791
00:54:02.906 --> 00:54:06.702
It's a chance to visit places
few have ever seen,
792
00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:08.662
let alone filmed.
793
00:54:09.621 --> 00:54:11.957
Marcelo, turn it over
to the black mountain, please.
794
00:54:12.124 --> 00:54:13.876
That will be our starting point.
795
00:54:14.042 --> 00:54:15.085
Yup.
796
00:54:24.762 --> 00:54:27.055
-Okay. Let's go this way, please.
-MARCELO: Uh-huh.
797
00:54:29.558 --> 00:54:31.143
ALASTAIR: Looking for
some good bergs, really.
798
00:54:31.393 --> 00:54:32.394
MARCELO: Yup.
799
00:54:32.561 --> 00:54:35.731
ALASTAIR: And let's head for these
uh, icebergs here in front of us.
800
00:54:36.857 --> 00:54:38.275
Yeah, this is gonna be lovely.
801
00:54:44.823 --> 00:54:46.742
That is one hell of an iceberg, there.
802
00:54:48.452 --> 00:54:50.996
Okay. Let's try going low towards
the one just here,
803
00:54:51.163 --> 00:54:52.915
the one with the... with the holes in it.
804
00:54:56.001 --> 00:54:58.504
It's very nice with the gray sky
behind this way as well.
805
00:55:00.881 --> 00:55:01.965
Yeah, that's great.
806
00:55:02.716 --> 00:55:04.927
That's really nice.
That's like Stonehenge.
807
00:55:07.054 --> 00:55:08.722
Those holes are superb.
808
00:55:10.140 --> 00:55:12.351
That's beautiful.
The lighting's lovely, too.
809
00:55:13.519 --> 00:55:14.770
This is great, Marcelo.
810
00:55:14.937 --> 00:55:17.189
Just keep going round like this,
this is very nice.
811
00:55:20.275 --> 00:55:22.611
That is a beautiful piece of ice.
812
00:55:26.156 --> 00:55:28.951
-ALASTAIR: Very good flying. Thank you.
-MARCELO: Thank you.
813
00:55:30.744 --> 00:55:34.248
Amazing sort of... where that glacier's
coming right down into the ocean there.
814
00:55:37.084 --> 00:55:38.293
MARCELO: Altitude is good?
815
00:55:38.627 --> 00:55:39.878
ALASTAIR: Altitude is lovely.
816
00:55:40.170 --> 00:55:41.296
MARCELO: Uh-huh.
817
00:55:42.381 --> 00:55:43.465
Push.
818
00:55:51.181 --> 00:55:52.975
ALASTAIR: Let's keep going
in this direction.
819
00:55:53.141 --> 00:55:54.142
MARCELO: Uh-huh.
820
00:56:07.906 --> 00:56:09.575
Can we try and fly quite close
821
00:56:09.741 --> 00:56:11.743
-to this ridge straight ahead of us?
-Uh-huh.
822
00:56:12.494 --> 00:56:15.247
ALASTAIR: That's got a real feeling
of going forever.
823
00:56:20.752 --> 00:56:22.713
Okay, Marcelo,
can you see that ridge there?
824
00:56:24.214 --> 00:56:26.675
-Can we go over the top of it?
-MARCELO: Okay.
825
00:56:34.433 --> 00:56:37.185
ALASTAIR: That's a lovely shot.
Very nice. Okay, keep going.
826
00:56:42.691 --> 00:56:45.277
Nice altitude. Good speed.
827
00:56:47.571 --> 00:56:50.115
And we stay on
the sunny side of the ridge.
828
00:56:53.118 --> 00:56:54.703
Yeah, this is gonna be lovely.
829
00:56:57.706 --> 00:56:58.957
Yeah, that's nice.
830
00:57:07.674 --> 00:57:10.135
NARRATOR:
Three and a half thousand miles away,
831
00:57:10.302 --> 00:57:12.346
on the other side of Antarctica,
832
00:57:12.512 --> 00:57:14.222
the last of the Disneynature teams
833
00:57:14.389 --> 00:57:18.018
is sailing from the Falkland Islands
down the Antarctic Peninsula
834
00:57:18.185 --> 00:57:21.438
heading for the appropriately named
Avian Island.
835
00:57:24.399 --> 00:57:26.568
It's accessible only by boat,
836
00:57:26.860 --> 00:57:30.697
and only when there's open water
and the sea ice has broken up.
837
00:57:31.531 --> 00:57:35.118
On board is the largest film crew
of the entire production,
838
00:57:35.285 --> 00:57:37.412
with three separate filming teams,
839
00:57:37.913 --> 00:57:42.292
all trying to get to a rarely visited
and very remote penguin colony.
840
00:57:45.253 --> 00:57:47.756
One of the most experienced is John,
841
00:57:47.923 --> 00:57:50.884
a specialist long lens cinematographer.
842
00:57:51.051 --> 00:57:52.803
JOHN: I've been here a few times filming,
843
00:57:52.970 --> 00:57:55.472
but it's fresh, I think,
every single time, because...
844
00:57:55.639 --> 00:57:58.100
the landscape changes,
all the ice moves around, and...
845
00:57:58.558 --> 00:58:00.477
you never get
the same weather twice either.
846
00:58:01.395 --> 00:58:03.355
Apparently this year
there's a huge amount of ice,
847
00:58:03.605 --> 00:58:07.025
and it could well block this boat
from being able to get to the colony
848
00:58:07.192 --> 00:58:09.277
where the Adelie penguins are
that we're trying to film.
849
00:58:09.444 --> 00:58:12.698
And if that's the case,
then we may not be able to land there.
850
00:58:13.532 --> 00:58:16.660
NARRATOR: The dive team leader, Doug,
has also been here before,
851
00:58:16.827 --> 00:58:20.414
and knows a thing or two
about these freezing waters.
852
00:58:21.623 --> 00:58:24.042
Well, I've been diving the tropics
for the last two years,
853
00:58:24.209 --> 00:58:27.129
so, um, yeah, I think it's gonna be
a bit of a shock to the system.
854
00:58:27.295 --> 00:58:29.631
From memory, you know,
the first week is the hardest,
855
00:58:29.798 --> 00:58:32.259
you know, before your body
starts to acclimatize to the cold.
856
00:58:32.426 --> 00:58:36.471
And it's not really your core, um,
that's the problem.
857
00:58:36.638 --> 00:58:38.557
It's, uh, your hands stop working.
858
00:58:38.724 --> 00:58:42.978
Uh, so you simply can't control
the other buttons on a camera housing.
859
00:58:43.145 --> 00:58:46.648
So, um, yeah, but if we can get an hour
in the water after a week,
860
00:58:46.815 --> 00:58:48.233
then we're doing pretty well.
861
00:58:49.151 --> 00:58:52.195
NARRATOR:
The third Antarctic veteran is Jamie.
862
00:58:52.362 --> 00:58:55.574
His special camera
uses military technology.
863
00:58:57.200 --> 00:59:01.496
JAMIE: It's a stabilized system,
so it means we can get stable images
864
00:59:01.663 --> 00:59:04.166
while we're in a boat
filming penguins in the water.
865
00:59:04.332 --> 00:59:07.002
And basically, it looks like, you know,
you get rock-steady images
866
00:59:07.294 --> 00:59:09.588
while the boat's moving around
and we're tracking with them.
867
00:59:09.921 --> 00:59:12.924
NARRATOR: Three separate teams
with one common goal:
868
00:59:13.091 --> 00:59:17.137
to film the chicks as they enter the sea
for the very first time.
869
00:59:19.681 --> 00:59:22.225
But within hours, they run into trouble.
870
00:59:22.809 --> 00:59:25.687
The change in the weather
catches them by surprise.
871
00:59:29.441 --> 00:59:30.984
What a difference a day makes.
872
00:59:31.151 --> 00:59:34.571
Yesterday, we had sunshine.
Glorious sunshine.
873
00:59:34.738 --> 00:59:38.825
And uh... and now we're stuck in the ice,
parked next to an iceberg,
874
00:59:38.992 --> 00:59:40.577
and we've got gale-force winds.
875
00:59:40.744 --> 00:59:42.412
(STRONG WINDS BLOWING)
876
00:59:42.579 --> 00:59:44.998
This is not exactly
what we were expecting.
877
00:59:45.624 --> 00:59:47.250
Uh, we're in the middle of summer.
878
00:59:47.834 --> 00:59:50.128
Uh, if the ice is like this
for us, you know,
879
00:59:50.587 --> 00:59:52.255
this is their time
for the chicks to fledge.
880
00:59:52.422 --> 00:59:53.757
What they need is open sea.
881
00:59:53.924 --> 00:59:56.927
They need somewhere for the chicks
to be able to go and feed themselves,
882
00:59:57.094 --> 00:59:59.888
as well as the parents to be able
to get fish to feed the chicks.
883
01:00:00.055 --> 01:00:01.848
So as much as it's a problem for us,
884
01:00:02.015 --> 01:00:04.101
my dinner's downstairs
being cooked in the mess.
885
01:00:04.267 --> 01:00:06.061
These guys are having a much harder time.
886
01:00:11.691 --> 01:00:14.486
NARRATOR: On the other side of Antarctica,
at Cape Crozier,
887
01:00:14.653 --> 01:00:18.073
Sophie is dealing with a storm
of a different kind.
888
01:00:22.077 --> 01:00:24.496
The penguin chicks are molting.
889
01:00:26.832 --> 01:00:30.252
(PENGUINS GAKKING)
890
01:00:34.714 --> 01:00:36.800
Can I just... look.
Look at this, everywhere.
891
01:00:38.677 --> 01:00:41.680
This, there was so much of this
in the air,
892
01:00:42.097 --> 01:00:43.974
that I think that Julie and I
have inhaled
893
01:00:44.141 --> 01:00:48.520
an entire penguin chick down sleeping bag.
894
01:00:49.980 --> 01:00:51.565
Like, look, everything. It's...
895
01:00:52.190 --> 01:00:54.192
The whole air is just full of this stuff.
896
01:00:54.359 --> 01:00:55.402
(GAKS)
897
01:00:57.696 --> 01:01:01.241
NARRATOR: The downy feathers have served
to keep them warm up until now.
898
01:01:01.658 --> 01:01:03.285
But they're not waterproof,
899
01:01:03.493 --> 01:01:06.288
so the chicks must shed them
before they can go to sea.
900
01:01:06.454 --> 01:01:08.748
(PENGUINS GAKKING)
901
01:01:10.667 --> 01:01:14.337
It's the penguin equivalent
of those awkward teenage years.
902
01:01:15.463 --> 01:01:18.091
(HONKS)
903
01:01:21.511 --> 01:01:24.848
And it's not just down
that the chicks are leaving behind.
904
01:01:25.473 --> 01:01:26.683
(HONKS)
905
01:01:26.850 --> 01:01:29.227
I don't like the way
they poo on our camera gear,
906
01:01:29.477 --> 01:01:31.021
and the way I smell.
907
01:01:31.188 --> 01:01:33.440
I smell worse than I've ever smelled,
908
01:01:33.607 --> 01:01:39.362
because we spend all day
kneeling in down, excrement.
909
01:01:39.529 --> 01:01:40.614
It's not a nice smell.
910
01:01:40.780 --> 01:01:45.285
It really isn't. They're not gonna be
making a perfume any time soon.
911
01:01:45.452 --> 01:01:46.453
(GAKKING)
912
01:01:46.620 --> 01:01:49.456
And plus there's no shower,
so I think we smell quite high.
913
01:01:49.623 --> 01:01:51.541
But they... they think
they smell delicious.
914
01:01:51.708 --> 01:01:54.002
They... They're like,
"Yeah, man, we're good."
915
01:01:54.628 --> 01:01:58.381
NARRATOR: The chicks don't know it,
but this is a risky time for them.
916
01:02:00.091 --> 01:02:01.718
If they molt too soon,
917
01:02:01.885 --> 01:02:04.596
they run the risk
of being caught out by a storm.
918
01:02:07.140 --> 01:02:08.141
Molt too late,
919
01:02:08.600 --> 01:02:11.645
and they won't be able
to enter the water and leave the colony
920
01:02:11.811 --> 01:02:13.313
before winter returns.
921
01:02:17.859 --> 01:02:19.527
Back on the Antarctic Peninsula,
922
01:02:19.694 --> 01:02:22.030
the boat crew have weathered their storm
923
01:02:23.323 --> 01:02:25.492
and have arrived at Avian Island.
924
01:02:25.659 --> 01:02:28.954
So our first footsteps onto Avian.
925
01:02:29.704 --> 01:02:32.207
NARRATOR: No film crew
has ever been here before.
926
01:02:32.540 --> 01:02:34.751
They have no idea what they'll find.
927
01:02:36.044 --> 01:02:37.754
JOHN: It's a really large colony,
928
01:02:37.921 --> 01:02:40.674
and we're seeing it for the first time,
so we're trying to work out
929
01:02:41.049 --> 01:02:43.677
where we can land, where the penguins
are likely to go into the sea,
930
01:02:43.843 --> 01:02:45.845
which is the most important thing
we're gonna film.
931
01:02:46.805 --> 01:02:49.766
It's just very encouraging, really,
to find so many birds here.
932
01:02:53.603 --> 01:02:56.690
NARRATOR: They soon discover
that the penguins are not alone.
933
01:02:56.898 --> 01:03:00.110
(HONKING)
934
01:03:02.320 --> 01:03:03.613
Elephant seals.
935
01:03:06.574 --> 01:03:07.659
(HONKS)
936
01:03:07.826 --> 01:03:11.705
Up to 20 feet long,
and nearly 9,000 pounds,
937
01:03:11.871 --> 01:03:13.873
they're the world's largest seal.
938
01:03:14.708 --> 01:03:17.877
And they even smell even worse
than the penguins.
939
01:03:20.797 --> 01:03:22.590
Oh, the stench.
940
01:03:22.757 --> 01:03:24.050
(LAUGHS)
941
01:03:24.217 --> 01:03:26.678
It's like a great cloud of smell
that comes up from them.
942
01:03:26.845 --> 01:03:28.179
It's amazing.
943
01:03:28.388 --> 01:03:29.514
(LAUGHS)
944
01:03:29.681 --> 01:03:31.182
Not good neighbors.
945
01:03:31.850 --> 01:03:33.518
But I don't want to get any closer.
946
01:03:33.893 --> 01:03:35.395
They're so big.
947
01:03:35.562 --> 01:03:37.522
(HONKING)
948
01:03:42.068 --> 01:03:45.238
It does sound pretty bad,
doesn't it? Terrible guts.
949
01:03:50.869 --> 01:03:52.037
(BLOWS)
950
01:03:55.582 --> 01:03:58.960
NARRATOR: Soon, John is forced to retreat
from his filming position.
951
01:04:00.879 --> 01:04:02.297
Yes, yes, okay.
952
01:04:03.089 --> 01:04:04.799
We won't give you any trouble.
953
01:04:06.384 --> 01:04:08.428
JOHN: My tripod and camera
were right in the way,
954
01:04:08.887 --> 01:04:13.058
so, um, we had to negotiate
who went where, and I lost.
955
01:04:13.767 --> 01:04:17.020
(HONKING)
956
01:04:30.033 --> 01:04:31.701
NARRATOR: All across Antarctica,
957
01:04:31.868 --> 01:04:33.995
the adult Adelies
are leaving their colonies,
958
01:04:34.162 --> 01:04:36.956
heading back to sea
for the last time this season.
959
01:04:39.918 --> 01:04:41.169
For the chicks,
960
01:04:41.336 --> 01:04:45.173
it's time to take their final step
toward independence.
961
01:04:45.507 --> 01:04:47.467
JOHN: Unlike other birds
which have to learn to fly,
962
01:04:47.634 --> 01:04:49.260
penguins have to learn to swim.
963
01:04:49.427 --> 01:04:52.639
It's a rite of passage for penguins
that they have to take.
964
01:04:54.974 --> 01:04:58.269
There are lots of chicks going just now.
They're coming down from the colony,
965
01:04:58.436 --> 01:05:00.939
and coming down to the shore
and trying to swim offshore,
966
01:05:01.106 --> 01:05:02.816
but they've never done it before, so...
967
01:05:02.982 --> 01:05:05.360
they're making a bit of a mess of it,
some of them.
968
01:05:05.860 --> 01:05:08.488
Some just go in quite confidently,
and others fall in
969
01:05:08.655 --> 01:05:11.074
and have to crash about
and then climb out again.
970
01:05:12.867 --> 01:05:15.328
They don't seem to know
what to do at all, really.
971
01:05:18.915 --> 01:05:20.625
(JOHN LAUGHS)
972
01:05:29.008 --> 01:05:31.052
Oh, dear, falling over.
973
01:05:31.719 --> 01:05:33.138
Oh, gosh.
974
01:05:34.472 --> 01:05:35.765
Yeah, there they go.
975
01:05:37.934 --> 01:05:39.144
(JOHN LAUGHS)
976
01:05:39.310 --> 01:05:41.980
They jump like parachute jumpers,
they don't jump like penguins.
977
01:05:42.147 --> 01:05:43.731
It's all jumping feet first.
978
01:05:46.484 --> 01:05:49.070
SOPHIE: All right. Ready for youse.
979
01:05:50.113 --> 01:05:53.408
They're mainly coming up
on this little bit here.
980
01:05:54.784 --> 01:05:56.202
No, no. Don't go there.
981
01:05:56.786 --> 01:05:59.080
That's entirely the wrong way.
982
01:06:00.248 --> 01:06:01.583
To me. To me.
983
01:06:02.500 --> 01:06:03.501
Come on.
984
01:06:09.174 --> 01:06:11.009
We've been on the beach for the last week
985
01:06:11.176 --> 01:06:14.012
because the chicks have started to fledge.
986
01:06:15.013 --> 01:06:17.599
And their excitement
at being in the water is just amazing.
987
01:06:17.765 --> 01:06:19.309
It's like any toddler, you know.
988
01:06:19.476 --> 01:06:21.936
It's like any kid
when they see the sea, the ocean.
989
01:06:22.103 --> 01:06:24.272
They're just so happy.
They're in their element.
990
01:06:24.522 --> 01:06:26.649
And they're off. They're going.
991
01:06:26.816 --> 01:06:29.444
It's like, they're off for the sea ice,
for the winter, they're done.
992
01:06:30.737 --> 01:06:33.573
So this is the end of the story
for us, actually.
993
01:06:33.948 --> 01:06:36.910
It's really lovely to see
the, kind of, season drawing to a close.
994
01:06:38.077 --> 01:06:39.954
NARRATOR: Sophie's mission may be ending,
995
01:06:40.121 --> 01:06:44.542
but there's still one more chapter
to the penguins' Antarctic adventure.
996
01:06:47.504 --> 01:06:51.674
It's one of the most dangerous moments
in a young chick's life,
997
01:06:52.050 --> 01:06:55.011
and it's the whole reason
the boat team have battled their way
998
01:06:55.178 --> 01:06:57.889
so far south to Avian Island.
999
01:07:01.392 --> 01:07:04.771
Here, brash ice
still surrounds the island.
1000
01:07:07.565 --> 01:07:10.401
It's a major barrier
the chicks need to cross
1001
01:07:10.568 --> 01:07:12.028
before they can reach the open sea.
1002
01:07:13.738 --> 01:07:16.824
But it's what's below the surface
that is the most feared.
1003
01:07:19.702 --> 01:07:21.120
Leopard seals.
1004
01:07:26.459 --> 01:07:29.796
Eleven feet
of specialized penguin predator.
1005
01:07:37.303 --> 01:07:39.597
The timing of this event
has been incredible,
1006
01:07:39.764 --> 01:07:42.225
because as soon as the chicks
started to leave the island,
1007
01:07:42.392 --> 01:07:43.726
leopard seals arrived.
1008
01:07:46.145 --> 01:07:48.648
The seals seem to have some kind of
in-built calendar
1009
01:07:48.815 --> 01:07:52.402
that brings them here exactly
on the same date as the penguins' leaving.
1010
01:07:52.569 --> 01:07:54.153
It's amazing how nature works.
1011
01:07:54.779 --> 01:07:55.822
There'd previously been none.
1012
01:07:55.989 --> 01:07:58.908
There are maybe six, seven,
or eight now around the island.
1013
01:08:00.535 --> 01:08:03.246
It's a big, risky place out there
for a young penguin.
1014
01:08:14.173 --> 01:08:16.718
NARRATOR: For the story's climax,
the team want to capture
1015
01:08:16.884 --> 01:08:19.887
the nail-biting drama
of the seals hunting.
1016
01:08:20.346 --> 01:08:22.557
Three camera crews cover the action,
1017
01:08:23.141 --> 01:08:24.934
each from a different angle.
1018
01:08:26.019 --> 01:08:29.188
JAMIE: I'm here with the Cineflex,
so I'm filming topside,
1019
01:08:29.522 --> 01:08:32.066
Doug is doing underwater,
and then we've got John on land.
1020
01:08:32.233 --> 01:08:34.777
So hopefully they can give us a wider view
and a different perspective on it.
1021
01:08:35.445 --> 01:08:37.030
Hold still on the boat. Okay.
1022
01:08:37.196 --> 01:08:40.116
Well, for us, we wanna make it
feel exciting and dramatic,
1023
01:08:40.283 --> 01:08:42.827
so we're trying to give a sense of scale
to the leopard seals,
1024
01:08:42.994 --> 01:08:45.371
and to be with the chicks
as they're moving through the ice,
1025
01:08:45.538 --> 01:08:49.250
and wanna make people understand
how scary it is for the chicks, really.
1026
01:08:50.918 --> 01:08:52.920
You've got thousands of chicks
getting into the water
1027
01:08:53.087 --> 01:08:54.672
and these little lines streaming out.
1028
01:08:54.839 --> 01:08:56.758
And then these leopard seals
come out of nowhere
1029
01:08:56.924 --> 01:08:59.427
and just... utter mayhem.
1030
01:09:12.273 --> 01:09:13.816
NARRATOR: Amid all the chaos,
1031
01:09:13.983 --> 01:09:17.153
the crew were facing
exactly the same problem as the chicks.
1032
01:09:19.322 --> 01:09:21.491
When the seal drops beneath the ice,
1033
01:09:22.116 --> 01:09:25.328
no one knows where it will appear next.
1034
01:09:26.579 --> 01:09:29.165
Okay. Everyone keep their eyes peeled
for the seal.
1035
01:09:31.376 --> 01:09:34.170
JOHN: It's like cat and mouse
with the seal looking for the penguins
1036
01:09:34.420 --> 01:09:36.047
and us looking for the seal.
1037
01:09:36.381 --> 01:09:39.300
But from our point of view,
it's a needle in a haystack.
1038
01:09:44.347 --> 01:09:45.890
-There it is.
-JAMIE: Yeah.
1039
01:09:50.353 --> 01:09:52.939
He was just five meters to your right now.
1040
01:09:58.861 --> 01:10:01.280
Okay. Doug's getting in the water now.
1041
01:10:05.118 --> 01:10:07.161
NARRATOR: The dive team
hope to have better luck.
1042
01:10:07.328 --> 01:10:08.830
Okay, camera's booting.
1043
01:10:09.330 --> 01:10:13.292
NARRATOR: Underneath the ice,
they shouldn't be able to hide so easily.
1044
01:10:18.339 --> 01:10:21.926
But leopard seals
are masters of deception.
1045
01:10:59.630 --> 01:11:03.509
Doug, they're at the back.
The other side.
1046
01:11:20.359 --> 01:11:23.613
NARRATOR: At last,
one seal decides to reveal itself
1047
01:11:24.155 --> 01:11:26.157
and Doug can start filming.
1048
01:11:33.748 --> 01:11:35.708
DANIEL: We've finally caught up
with a leopard seal
1049
01:11:35.875 --> 01:11:38.961
that doesn't seem to be
overly scared of Doug.
1050
01:11:39.670 --> 01:11:42.381
They tend to be very skittish,
don't like divers in the water,
1051
01:11:42.548 --> 01:11:45.718
whereas this the first time
we've seen one actually hang around,
1052
01:11:46.177 --> 01:11:49.013
and we're all crossing our fingers
and hoping that Doug's getting the shots
1053
01:11:49.180 --> 01:11:51.307
that we've been chasing
for days on end now.
1054
01:11:52.225 --> 01:11:54.393
NARRATOR:
But just as Doug's luck is improving,
1055
01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:56.354
he has to stop filming.
1056
01:11:56.521 --> 01:11:58.773
His hands are starting to freeze.
1057
01:11:59.190 --> 01:12:00.191
DANIEL: Well done, Dougie.
1058
01:12:00.358 --> 01:12:01.734
MAN: You're a trooper and a star.
1059
01:12:01.901 --> 01:12:03.820
DANIEL: Yeah, crikey.
You must be cold by now.
1060
01:12:05.404 --> 01:12:07.365
NARRATOR: The seal has disappeared again.
1061
01:12:08.074 --> 01:12:09.784
The deadly game resumes.
1062
01:12:16.791 --> 01:12:18.960
DOUG: Right now we're just waiting
for them to catch a chick.
1063
01:12:19.126 --> 01:12:21.337
You know, we're trying to get the chick
being caught by the leopard seal,
1064
01:12:21.504 --> 01:12:22.505
then escaping.
1065
01:12:22.672 --> 01:12:24.882
That's sort of our raison d'être.
1066
01:12:29.595 --> 01:12:32.139
NARRATOR: The odds are stacked
against the chicks.
1067
01:12:32.682 --> 01:12:35.059
JOHN: Those chicks are in trouble.
They're really struggling.

Oh, that's a clever penguin.
1073
01:12:55.329 --> 01:12:56.998
It's amazing how they actually escape.
1074
01:12:57.373 --> 01:13:00.668
NARRATOR: The crew's challenge
is to film how they do it.
1075
01:13:02.336 --> 01:13:04.630
No, we got a really good take
with that one, Raz.
1076
01:13:05.047 --> 01:13:07.758
Okay. He's coming around,
back of the boat.
1077
01:13:13.139 --> 01:13:15.975
NARRATOR: As the seal hones in
on a vulnerable chick,
1078
01:13:16.475 --> 01:13:18.561
the final scene plays out,
1079
01:13:19.520 --> 01:13:23.524
and the chick's incredible escape trick
is about to be revealed.

underwater and then a few minutes later
1083
01:13:42.585 --> 01:13:43.628
it pops up again...
1084
01:13:44.211 --> 01:13:46.172
It's... yeah.
It's really, really exciting.
1085
01:13:52.094 --> 01:13:54.680
Is the guy still alive
or is he just acting dead?
1086
01:13:56.557 --> 01:13:59.143
NARRATOR: The chicks hope
that the seal will lose interest...
1087
01:14:01.479 --> 01:14:04.065
and allow them one last chance...
1088
01:14:06.275 --> 01:14:07.318
to escape.

unstoppable little penguins
1100

and their heroic fight
to breed and survive
1101

And uh... (CLEARS THROAT)
most important of these is a... beard,
1106

the uh... the long...
the long, gray beard.
1107
01:15:31.569 --> 01:15:34.071
And uh, that often...
you can use that in a lot of ways.
1108
01:15:34.613 --> 01:15:38.159
It protects your lower face area.
1109

Um, often really useful.
1110

And, of course, the... the penguin beak,
1111
01:15:43.956 --> 01:15:47.251
which enables you to get closer
to penguins.
1112
01:15:47.585 --> 01:15:49.378
MAN: Are they standard issue,
or are they specifically for...
1113
01:15:49.545 --> 01:15:51.255
No, they're... they're only for media.
1114
01:15:51.964 --> 01:15:53.924
Yeah, for media, because, uh,
1115
01:15:54.341 --> 01:15:56.177
we don't wanna upset the penguins,
1116
01:15:56.343 --> 01:15:58.721
so you gotta try
and blend in a little bit.
1117
01:15:59.263 --> 01:16:03.642
So there, obviously, look alike,
like a penguin immediately.
