Planet Earth II

Planet Earth II is the sequel to the acclaimed and renowned British nature documentary series Planet Earth, both of which are presented by the world famous British narrator David Attenborough. While the first series was the first nature documentary to record in high definition HD, the sequel has also made use of the most modern technology available, including aerial drones, 4K ultra high definition and improved camera techniques. Planet Earth II consists of seven 60-minute episodes, each of which focuses on a different natural ecosystem, varying from islands and mountains to cities and desserts. The final episode, called World of Wonder, is a kind of hour-long compilation of all the most beautiful and most impressive our planet has to offer us in terms of nature.
