Polar Bears in the Arctic

After growing up in England and studying anthropology and biology at Oxford, Vanessa Berlowitz embarked on a career in documentary filmmaking that’s taken her from the nightclubs of L.A. to the mountains of Pakistan. After producing two episodes of Planet Earth, the epic natural history series that aired in the U.S. in 2007, she became the series producer of Frozen Planet, which premieres on the Discovery Channel on Sunday, March 18. Like Planet Earth, Frozen Planet uses high-definition production techniques to capture intimate animal behaviors in rarely seen natural environments—in this case, the regions surrounding the North and South Pole.
