The Blue Planet series was five years in the making, taking a look at the rich tapestry of life in the world's oceans. These 2 DVDs contains four parts of the series ( Seasonal Seas / Coral Seas / Ocean World / Frozen Seas ). In Ocean Worlds - The ocean's influence dominates the world's weather systems and supports an enormous range of life. This first episode demonstrates the sheer scale, power and complexity of the "Blue Planet".  In Frozen Seas - Life on the edge of a frozen sea is tough. Ice at both poles is constantly moving, and in winter freezes solid with air temperatures 70 °C below freezing. Only in spring, with the retreating ice and light reaching the water, does life begin again. In Seasonal Seas - Shafts of sunlight are the vital source of energy used by the countless billions of plankton that grow every spring and summer in the world's temperate sea, the richest of all habitats. In Coral Seas - Coral reefs are the rainforests of the sea; fish compete for food, territory and mates within this oasis of life. Incredible time-lapse photography shows the dramatic formation of a coral reef, portraying its inhabitants and its ultimate destruction. In Tidal Seas - Tidal marshes are one of the most productive parts of the world. Numerous plants support numerous animals, yet life is not easy: predators are attracted to these enormous quantities of food, forcing animals to seek constant protection from attack. Finally in Coasts - The boundary between land and sea is an exciting place, with seabirds, turtles, and marine mammals constantly coming and going.
