Remember those wave-making killer whales from “Frozen Planet II”? The ones who turned hunting seals into an extreme sport and became instant social media darlings? Well, they’re back. This time, a team of scientists and filmmakers are braving the Antarctic chill to provide an in-depth look at these remarkable predators and their unique hunting technique.
The expedition has a particularly personal dimension for one scientist, driven by the hope of reuniting with a specific pod. While the whales’ wave-making skills are undoubtedly the main draw, this personal quest adds another compelling ripple to the narrative.
“Expedition Killer Whale” airs Thursday, December 26, at 6:00 PM on BBC Two.
