ABC, PBS and ITV Studios partner for groundbreaking new natural history series Ages of Ice

ABC, PBS, ITV Studios, Screen Australia and Screen NSW are thrilled to announce production has commenced on the groundbreaking new three-part natural history series, Ages of Ice.

From the Emmy-Award-winning Northern Pictures, Ages of Ice follows the brave 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.

ABC Head of Documentary & Specialist, Susie Jones said "We're excited to partner with Northern Pictures and PBS on this landmark new series. The ABC is committed to commissioning innovative natural history content, and we can't wait to share Ages of Ice with Australian audiences".

We are venturing into some of the most formidable and breathtaking landscapes on Earth, where science becomes an act of sheer endurance.

Through the series we hope to reveal the profound connection between the polar regions and the future of our planet".

Screen Australia Head of Documentary Richard Huddleston said, "Ages of Ice is a genre-defining, boundary-pushing series for our time.

Ages of Ice explores the impact of climate change on the unique ecosystems found in polar regions and I'm sure will generate much conversation around the globe."
