DVD Description

Extraordinary footage and eloquent narration by David Attenborough highlight the BBC's remarkable wildlife series The Blue Planet: Seas of Life. "Ocean World" begins with astonishing views of a gigantic blue whale--the elusive Holy Grail of undersea photography--and the marvels continue to demonstrate the power, diversity, and profound ecological influence of Earth's oceans. "Frozen Seas" examines whales, walruses, penguins, and other creatures under the extreme conditions of the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The next two episodes are even better. "Open Ocean" travels thousands of miles into the vast "liquid desert," where currents determine how the ocean's diverse life forms will assume their places in the food chain. More amazing, "The Deep" descends with a state-of-the-art submersible to the ocean's abyssal plain and beyond, filming such bizarre creatures as the fangtooth, bioluminescent jellies, transparent squid, the giant-mouthed gulper eel, and the never-before-seen hairy angler fish.

"Seasonal Seas" focuses on the explosion of life that accompanies every annual blooming of plankton, numbering in the countless billions and captured here with brilliant microphotography. In "Coral Seas," miles-long reefs of living coral are explored, from deep within (requiring brief computer animation) to the surrounding environs, where you'll see white-tipped sharks in a feeding frenzy while beautiful harlequin shrimp wrestle with a starfish. "Tidal Seas" explores the myriad life forms that thrive when lunar gravity pulls the oceans offshore. "Coasts" is easily the most brutal episode, but no less mesmerizing. The most unexpected, and horrifying, sequence is the orca, earning its "killer whale" nickname by capturing, killing, and tail-tossing a seal pup--a sequence so mysteriously primal that even the most seasoned marine biologist will be utterly amazed. One of the finest wildlife programs you're ever likely to see, The Blue Planet: Seas of Life provides the privilege of visiting a truly alien world teeming with the rarest wonders of nature. The series was recut into the feature-length Deep Blue in 2005. --Jeff Shannon

Great Stuff

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MR9D5E/ref=pd_cp_d_1?pf_rd_p=316286001&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000069HXC&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0C0CMJNM5RVN0ZQE3ZY6 This previous web sight has the Box Set "The Planet Earth" that I Bought along with the following Box Set of "The Blue Planet"http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000069HXC/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title Both were nothing less than WONDERFUL.


Great but could be better with one change

I am a science teacher. This is a great product with magnificent filming of the world beneath the seas. A great educational set! I have only one problem with it. For the last 100 plus years we have been looking for proof the Darwin was correct. Not one fossil has ever been found to show proof of evolution. In fact there is more proof against this theory. Darwin was wrong. As a student of science for 40 years I can easily say that theory is not science unless it can be proven. It is only a religion. Science will have to find another theory. Other than its constant reference to a dead theory it is well worth the money.


BEST AMAZON PURCHASE EVER!!!

This is the best item I ever purchased om Amazon! I just got them and can't stop watching, with hours of footage that is no problem. My two year old son loves it too and learns the names of the different fish, so it's not just "fish" but "whale" "shark" "dolphin" etc. ......and that in two languages because we also speak dutch.
