BBC Nature's Great Events 1of6 HDTV x264 AC3 MVGroup 2009

Documentary series looking at the most dramatic wildlife spectacles on our planet.

Part 1. The Great Melt
The summer melt of Arctic ice, opening up nearly three million square miles of ocean and land,
provides opportunities for millions of animals, including beluga whales, families of Arctic foxes,
vast colonies of seabirds, and the fabled Arctic unicorn, the narwhal. For polar bears, however, it
is the toughest time of year. Why? How will they survive? A mother polar bear and her cub make their
first journey together onto the sea ice. They are looking for ringed seals, their favourite prey. It
is a serious business but the cub just wants to play. The melting ice makes it harder for them to
hunt and threatens their survival. In a unique aerial sequence, the migration of narwhal with their
distinctive unicorn-like tusks is filmed for the first time. The whales' journey is risky as they
travel along giant cracks in the ice. If the ice were to close above them, they would drown.
Hundreds of beluga whales gather in the river shallows. They rub themselves on smooth pebbles in one
of the most bizarre summer spectacles. Guillemot chicks take their first flights from precipitous
sea cliff nests to the sea 300 metres below. They attempt to glide to safety but many miss their
target. Their loss is a bonus for the hungry Arctic fox family waiting below. As the melt comes to
an end the bears gather, waiting for the sea to freeze again. Two 400kg males square up to each
other to spar.
