ITV wander through the Ages of Ice

ABC, PBS and ITV Studios have partnered for what they describe as a ‘groundbreaking series’…

Production has commenced this week on the three-part natural history series, Ages of Ice. From Northern Pictures, the programme follows scientists pushing the boundaries of exploration and human endeavour in Earth’s coldest corners to understand the changes of ice and what this means for our planet’s future.

In the unforgiving grip of our planet’s polar regions, the series will follow these modern-day explorers as they try to understand how the fate of every place and every creature on our planet is tied to these frozen extremes.

Northern Pictures Head of Factual, Karina Holden:

“This is a series unlike any other. We are venturing into some of the most formidable and breathtaking landscapes on Earth, where science becomes an act of sheer endurance. Filming in these remote extremes has been an extraordinary challenge, both physically and logistically but the urgency of the story demands it. Through the series we hope to reveal the profound connection between the polar regions and the future of our planet”.
