Introduction
From the team behind the multi-award-winning The Blue Planet comes an epic series celebrating the Earth as never before. It’s the definitive look at the diversity of our planet – an emotional as well as an intellectual journey…

We live on a planet of stunning natural beauty. From the towering peaks of Nepal, the lush green of the Amazon, from the dry-sculpted crescents of the Sahara to glistening polar icecaps, our world is truly spectacular. Using high definition film and with a production budget of unprecedented proportions, no part of our planet is left unexplored. Through stunning time-lapse sequences, witness the evolution of environments over thousands of years. CGI is used sparingly, and to breathtaking effect, to take viewers where a camera cannot venture – down an erupting volcano and into the Earth’s core.

《Sony Presents：天與地》由BBC英國廣播公司、日本NHK及Discovery傾力聯手攝製。製作逾四年，攝製隊踏足六十多個國家，200個拍攝地點，並由71位攝影師合力製作而成。攝製隊深入人跡罕見的極地，與觀眾一同探索我們所居住的美麗地球。

節目由著名自然史影片製作人David Attenborough擔任旁述，幕後製作按照叢林、沙漠、洞穴、深海等各類地形地貌進行分類，以詳盡的篇幅，仔細展示地球和生命之美，探索地球的多元化風貌。攝製隊跑遍了世界每個角落，拍得許多難得一見的生物，包括神秘的喀拉昆侖山雪豹，紀錄自然世界的瑰麗影像、生命的神奇和地球的浩瀚，令人歎為觀止。

Episode 1 - From Pole to Pole
2 October 2007

PLANET EARTH's premiere episode, "Pole to Pole," ties the series together with a fresh understanding of how life in every nook and cranny of the globe is connected -- from the highest mountains and darkest caves; shallowest water and deepest oceans; ice-covered lands and great plains; untamed jungles and giant forests; to freshwater and the harshest deserts. The sunward tilt of Earth's orbit dictates all our lives, creating the seasons that trigger one of the greatest spectacles in the world -- the mass migration of animals. It's a unique view of the majesty of our planet and the amazing creatures that live here.

BBC英國廣播公司製作跨年《天與地》，首集會從南至北，將地球的自然歷史概括地向觀眾解說。地球上的生物，無論是動物抑或植物的生命，都有賴陽光與水，更因此引發或大或小的季節遷移。

攝製隊來到北極，捕捉到北極熊媽媽帶著牠的小熊，在兩個星期的限時內，趁著冰雪融化前穿越冰凍的大海。一段段完整的北極熊生活情節，將展現觀眾眼前。另外，精彩鏡頭還包括Okavango洪水引發的一年一度變化；以及海洋中鯊魚獵殺海豹的情景。在今集節目中，攝製隊利用先進拍攝科技與器材，經過長時間捕捉了動物大規模的遷移以及獵食者的活動情景，叫觀眾眼界大開。
