That sounds easier than it is. Animal documentaries bring the people they make to their limits. I know that since I director in April 2007 Fothergill and his team at work could watch, when filming on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, only 1200 kilometers from the North Pole. For three days we explored snowmobiles on the bitter cold desert along the 78th Latitude, always on the lookout for polar bears. Supposedly there are still around Spitzbergen 5000 copies, one fifth of the total population.

In principle, polar bears here come from all sides; in doubt accelerate faster than a snowmobile. "Sometimes they just want to play," said Fothergill. But that's really nobody in the wilderness is eaten, or starved erfriert, escorted us to the Bears being two local leaders in the Arctic, armed with pepper spray and heavy turrets.

Climate change, the underlying theme throughout the film, was also felt on Spitsbergen, but differently than I thought: The weather changed every ten minutes. Sun, fog and snow storms alternated succession. With snow drifting blurred sky, horizon and ground in the Arctic into a single gray wall. With a little luck, you will still recognize the taillights in front of a moving snowmobile. A polar bear could be directly behind a herhecheln without being noticed him immediately.

Not all locals in the Arctic are so unpredictable. We observed reindeer, seals and an Arctic fox, for Central European city dwellers a sensation. Fothergill & Co. But that did not even packed up their cameras. Polar bears, the objects of desire, settled in this expedition does not look - animal film everyday.

Never mind. In the finished film, there is enough to see polar bears. The most spectacular scene - a polar bear who swims - Alastair Fothergill even turned itself helicopter.
