THE ARCTIC
FROM JANUARY 14 ON ARTE

The frozen beauty of the arctic is sublime. But the global warming is hitting four times harder here than anywhere else on our planet. The native environment of glaciers and ice shields, of polar bears, reindeer, whales and musk ox is acutely threatened by the change of the climate. „The Arctic - 66.5 Degrees North“ is a visually stunning 90 minutes long air journey. Venturing into the Arctic - as long as it is still there.

First airing of this latest colourFIELD production is scheduled Saturday, January 14, 8:15 pm on Arte. And also on Arte-mediathek, and on several further broadcast dates on Arte.

THE GIANT CAVE
AT THE MOVIES AND ON ARTE

The Riesending Cave ('Giant Cave') is by far Germany's deepest and longest shaft cave. The rocky tunnels wind their way down for almost 25 km into the legendary Untersberg Mountain with a drop of 1200 meters, through spectacular underground landscapes evoking images from The Lord of the Rings or the stories by Jules Verne. Five highly skilled speleologists take us on a first and exclusive journey into one of the world’s most challenging caves as they search for its ending.
Released in cinemas on 1st July. Now on television and available on DVD
