The first episode of the “Glacier Trilogy,” “The Hidden World,” introduces the unique sounds made by glaciers and the hidden power of life within them. Through the broadcast, viewers will experience the intense vitality of glaciers and the sounds akin to bird calls, produced by air bubbles compressed in ice bursting out.

This documentary highlights the various colours and ecosystems of glaciers and the drama of life unfolding within them. From the auroras of the Arctic to the emerald glaciers of Torres del Paine in Chile, glaciers form their own ecosystems, serving as stages where various life forms eat, love, and compete. Capturing the first-ever footage of an Arctic fox swimming is one of the highlights of this documentary.

Another aspect showcasing the power of glaciers is the depiction of the Earth’s landscape from 16,000 years ago to the present, influenced by glaciers, through 3D special effects. This allows viewers to directly see the role glaciers have played in shaping the Earth’s topography.
