Mark Brownlow - Frozen Planet II

Mark Brownlow is the series producer of Frozen Planet II. He was a producer on the BBCs landmark series Blue Planet II and Planet Earth and has produced many natural history documentaries for the BBC, including Hidden Kingdoms and Ocean Giants.

Elizabeth White is the series producer of Frozen Planet II. She was a producer on the BBCs landmark series Blue Planet II and the first Frozen Planet series and has worked on many natural history documentaries for the BBC, including The Great British Year and The Coral Gardener.

Firstly we would like to thank Michael Bright, for his hard work and dedication in shaping this book of the television series, and Laura Barwick for her expert eye in choosing the very best imagery to accompany it.

Working in the cold regions of Earth is not for the faint-hearted and we are deeply indebted to all of those involved in finding and filming the stories reflected in these pages. From the long list of scientists and experts who gave their time to share rare and new stories from these remote and changing lands, to the team of dedicated field guides, government bodies and scientific institutions who welcomed us on location even in the midst of a global pandemic!

Our dedicated camera and sound teams literally travelled to the ends of the Earth at a time when isolation periods were lengthy adding to the already logistically complicated and long shoots that were required to capture these stories. Their safety in working in these inherently risky lands was ensured by safety consultants, dive advisors and a raft of captains, crews and guides, specialists at operating on and around mountains, snow and sea ice.

Finally we would like to thank the fabulous production team for their passion, resilience and dedication over the four-and-a-half years it took to do justice to the incredible and changing worlds that make up our Frozen Planet.
