In Summer in the Antarctic, narrator Sir David Attenborough explores the Antarctic Peninsula during summer. As the seasonal thaw unlocks the sheltered bays, a feeding frenzy begins. Humpback whales travel over 5,000 miles to feast on krill, tiny shrimp-like creatures that swarm in the nutrient-rich waters. The whales use a sophisticated hunting strategy called bubble-net feeding to trap and devour massive quantities of krill before winter forces them to migrate north. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
