The spectacular moment killer whales emerged through hole in Arctic ice for a breather
Landmark series has captivated millions with its portrait of the frozen worldStunning images give a glimpse of what is to come on the BBC documentary
By

Last updated at 10:51 PM on 28th October 2011
It has already captivated
millions, taking viewers on a spectacular polar expedition to the frozen
wildernesses of the Arctic and the Antarctic.And
now the makers of the landmark BBC series Frozen Planet, bringing the
natural world of the North and South Poles to the small screen, has
given a tantalising glimpse of things to come with these stunning images
from future episodes.These
incredible stills from the series reveal the frozen world as you have
never seen it before - and may never see again, thanks to the onset of
global warming.
Narrated by Sir David
Attenborough, the series explores the effects of slimate change on the
polar regions - and the lengths scientists are going to understand it.The next episode in the seven-part series is to be screened on BBC 1 next Wednesday, November 2, at 9pm.
Scroll down to see more images from Frozen Planet.
Coming up for air: This stunning image shows a
pod of fish-eating KIller whales spyhopping among the breaking sea ice
in Antarctica
Cracked surface: The largest ice cap in the
Eurasian Arctic - Austfonna in Svalbard - is 150 miles long with a
thousand waterfalls in the summer
Not alone: Cameraman Mark Smith with just
the penguins for company while a this polar bear looks ready for action
as she prepares to launch herself from the ice
Bear hug: A mother nurses her two cubs, caught
on camera in a stunning aerial shot. Her milk reserves are running low
as she has not eaten for five months whilst in the den
Awesome spectacle: Bones break and tonnes of
blubber slam into each other as two male elephant seals fight amidst a
beach of king penguins
Hitching a ride: Adélie penguins on an iceberg
surrounded by masses of floating ice, in western Antarctica,
while the sky over the Arctic peninsula turns a deep shade of pink as
the sun sets on another day
On reflection: A stunning scene shows penguins
standing at the shore against a dramatic mountainous landscape, their
images mirrored in the water
Lone wolf: A rare Arctic species on Ellesmere
Island in Canada. These wolves are extremely remote and unused to humans, while an elephant sea flicks wet sand on to its back (right) to
keep cool as king penguins on the shore in South Georgia look on
Close encounter: Filming killer whales from a
boat in the Antarctic Peninsula. Some orcas are mammal hunters - they
kill seals by working as a team to generate large waves that wash them
off ice floes
Intrepid: Frozen Planet presenter Sir David
Attenborough at the North Pole while two bears test their
strength during the autumn in Hudson Bay, Canada
Lonely landscape: The first sunrise of the year
in the High Arctic archipelago of Svalbard is on February 15 or 16,
after being beneath the horizon for several months
Breaking free: A frozen Arctic river flows after
six months locked in ice. The immense release of freshwater from the
Arctic's waterways into the Arctic Ocean triggers the annual sea ice
melt and fuels the mass migration of fish, birds and whales
Showing them the way: A polar bear leads her cubs across the desolate landscape, perhaps in search of food
I spy: A group of penguins appear to be startled by the sudden emergence of an orca spyhopping through the broken ice
A nest built for two: A male Adélie penguin puts
the stones in place and prepares for some female company while
the fur flies between these two bull seals as they battle it out for
mating rights on the beach
Leap of faith: Cubs jumping into the water as
the pack ice breaks up in the summer. Polar bears are actually marine
mammals and are completely at home in the water as adults
Solitary swimmer: A polar bear gliding through
the water in front of the Austfonna ice cap in Svalbard. Polar bears can
swim for 60 miles in a day
Deep freeze: The melting ice forms elegant ice sculptures which float across a glacial fjord in Svalbard
Not too close: A crew film a polar bear from a
boat in pack ice. Frozen Planet is the first series to adapt a
stabilised aerial camera and mount it to the front of boats, enabling
filmmakers to get close to polar bears in their melting summer ice world
Gliding over the waves: A black-browed albatross
off the coast of South Georgia while a grey wolf pup sticks close to mum on Ellesmere Island, Canada
Caught in the act: Adélie penguins - a species
common along the Antarctic coast - collect stones for their nests.
Thieves try to steal them, but this one has been rumbled
Outnumbered: Cameraman Mark Smith is surrounded
by penguins as he films in harsh weather conditions. Frequent snow
storms and winds of up to 150mph kept film crews on their toes
throughout their four months working alone at Cape Crozier, Antarctica

Kew, Wisley or a suburban garden in the West Midlands? Amateur gardener creates his own masterpiece after 20-year labour of love
By Tamara Cohen
Last updated at 1:44 AM on 29th October 2011
Resplendent in crimson, bronze and
every conceivable shade of green, this manicured garden looks like it
belongs to a stately home or national park.In fact, it is nestled behind an unassuming suburban home in Walsall.It
does not have a team of gardeners toiling over it, but is the labour of
love of retired GP Tony Newton and his wife Marie, who have worked on
it almost every day for the past 20 years.
Labour of love: Retired GP Tony Newton, 62, is
surrounded by a kaleidoscope of autumn colour in his garden in Walsall,
West Midlands - The award-winning garden has been a labour-of-love for
over twenty years
Keeping on top of his bushes: Tony Newton pictured in his amazing garden
Yesterday
they showed it off surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colours from their
autumn shrubs such as acers, azaleas and conifers.
They
said it was at its best due to the recent spell of warm weather. ‘It’s
so unusual not to have had a frost by this time of year’, Mr Newton
said.
‘Normally
frosts can kill of autumn colour but we’ve been frost-free and the
colours are stunning. They’ve all come together, and you can’t plan
that, it’s like herding a bunch of unruly kids.’
The
couple moved to the four-bedroom home in suburban Walsall in 1982 and
began landscaping the neglected garden 10 years later when their four
children no longer used it as a play area.
Self-taught, they drew
up meticulous drawn-up plans for the layout to make it a ‘four seasons’
garden which would look dazzling all year round. They alternated deciduous and evergreen trees, found blue and yellow conifers and a variety of bedding plants.
It
took two years to create, snatching time during evenings and weekends
while they were both were working full-time, Mrs Newton as a transport
planner.
Since
retiring two years ago they devote up to eight hours every day to its
upkeep, and now open it to the public several times a year to raise
money for charity.
They
do not know the exact number of plants in their garden - which
measures 50 by 180ft - but say it is several thousand and they plant new
bulbs every Spring.
Mr
Newton said: ‘We just don’t think of it as work because we enjoy it so
much and love spending time there. And other people enjoy it and we have
raised £25,000 for charity. So it’s a win, win, win situation.
‘Even
when we were working we would be out there into the night with head
torches. People ask if we spend all our time weeding but we don’t - we
catch them when they are so miniscule it is not really a problem, we’ve
beaten them.’
Mrs
Newton added: ‘You don’t get bored because its always different. People
just don’t expected this at the back of a 1930s house. They walk down
the hallway and there’s a point when they just stop and say ‘wow’.'
Before the finished product: The garden

after the beginning of the garden makeover
Unassuming: The front of the couple's 1930s

children no longer used it as a play area

Elephant gives birth after a two year pregnancy - the longest ever r

Elephant gives birth after a two year pregnancy - the longest ever recorded at a British zoo
Elephant gives birth after a two year pregnancy - the longest ever recorded at a British zoo
Baby the smallest recorded at Whipsnade Zoo
Calf so small he struggled to reach mother's milk
By OLIVER PICKUP
Last updated at 2:09 PM on 28th October 2011
Elephants are notorious for their long memories, but now they will be renowned for their lengthy pregnancies.
Long-suffering Asian elephant Azizah was carrying her baby for 700 days - 84 longer than the average - and finally gave birth at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, Bedfordshire, last Tuesday.
It is believed to be the longest pregnancy ever recorded at the British zoo - nearly two extra months over the normal gestation period of 22 months.
And the baby, at just 16 stone (104kg) at birth, is the smallest in Whipshade's history.
Scroll down to watch the baby elephants playing at Whipsnade Zoo this week
Mother Azizah and the newest addition to the zoo's Asian elephant herd - a baby elephant born after the longest pregnancy recorded at Whipsnade
Keepers were so concerned about the diminutive size of the newborn - yet to be named - they thought he wouldn't be able to reach his mother's milk.
But the clever calf, Azizah's third, soon solved the problem by learning to stand on his tip-toes.
Elephant keeper Lee Sambrook said: 'Azizah took to him straight away and the rest of the herd are so excited to be around the baby and touch it.
You took your time! It took Azizah 700 to give birth to her third baby
Big hello: The tiny calf, which is yet to be named, was born last Tuesday and weighed just 16 stone - the smallest recorded at the zoo
'Elephants are social animals and having youngsters joining the herd is what elephant life is about.'
The calf is now venturing out of the elephant barn with the rest of the heard.
And visitors are flocking to the zoo so as to catch a glimpse of him playing with his siblings and suckling his mother, who will not forget the lengthy pregnancy in a hurry.
