This Sunday, April 22, is Earth Day and what better way to celebrate it than by enjoying some amazing BBC specials which feature the stunning diversity of life found on our planet.  The BBC is known for producing high-quality nature videos with up-close views of animals in their natural habitats.  For instance, enjoy this adorable video of polar bear cubs venturing out of their den for the first time:


Thanks to BBC Home Entertainment, I have some amazing prizes to give away a lucky winner!


Limited Edition Planet Earth Globe:
this astonishing 11-part BBC series is brilliantly narrated by Sir David Attenborough and sensibly organized so that each 50-minute episode covers a specific geographical region and/or wildlife habitat (mountains, caves, deserts, shallow seas, seasonal forests, etc.) until the entire planet has been magnificently represented by the most astonishing sights and sounds you'll ever experience from the comforts of home.

Frozen Planet  The Arctic and Antarctic remain the greatest wildernesses on Earth. The scale and beauty of the scenery and the sheer power of the elements are unmatched anywhere else on our planet. And against all odds, these vast, frigid environments are teeming with life.Using the latest camera technology, Frozen Planet captures unimaginable imagery above and below the ice, and follows the extraordinary fluctuations that accompany the changes of seasons in this most extreme of environments, often for the first time.

The winner will also receive a Frozen Planet poster!
