Antarctic and Falkland Islands

Season 2 Episode 204 | 26m 48s

It is spring on the Antarctic Peninsula and the frozen wilderness is a veritable nursery for penguins, shore birds and seal pups. In episode four Art Wolfe crosses the infamous Drake Passage—the treacherous body of water south of Cape Horn—to explore the Falkland Islands and the Antarctic coast in search of wildlife and landscapes emblematic of this pristine and unforgiving land.
