The Door Closes

A natural history of Antarctica presented by Sir David Attenborough. As autumn stirs up harsh seas, penguins struggle to get ashore to feed their young.

Winter approaches and most animals prepare to migrate north to warmer climates. Amid the wildness of the landscape, penguins struggle ashore to feed their young, leopard seals pounce at unsuspecting fledglings, fur seal pups take their first swim, and young wandering albatrosses rehearse their amazing courtship dance.
