Get ready for an incredible journey into the heart of Antarctica with National Geographic’s upcoming documentary, “Secrets of the Penguins,” coming to Disney+ in April 2025. This captivating program is the latest installment in the Emmy Award-winning “Secrets Of” franchise, and it promises to reveal a fascinating penguin behavior never before captured on film.
The documentary takes viewers to the remote Atka Bay on the Ekström Ice Shelf, where a colony of emperor penguin chicks faces a seemingly difficult challenge. As they prepare to take their first trip to the ocean – a rite of passage known as fledging – these young penguins find themselves perched atop a 50-foot cliff. Unable to descend the icy face, they do something extraordinary: they leap!
This heart-stopping moment, witnessed by scientists but never filmed before, shows the chicks plummeting into the icy waters below – completely unharmed. This daring feat is captured by BAFTA Award-winning cinematographer Bertie Gregory, star of the Disney+ series “Animals Up Close With Bertie Gregory.” Emperor penguin chicks typically fledge from sea ice platforms just a few feet high. However, due to recent changes, some colonies are now raising their young on towering ice shelves. “Secrets of the Penguins” unveils the mystery of how these chicks navigate this risky descent.
Gregory’s team utilized cutting-edge technology, including a camera drone with a powerful telephoto lens, to film the penguins from a safe distance without disturbing their behavior. Filming such a dramatic event during a particularly unstable time for the sea ice required a world-class safety team to ensure the well-being of both the crew and the penguins.
“Secrets of the Penguins” is a must-see for anyone who loves penguins, nature documentaries, or simply witnessing the wonders of the animal kingdom. Mark your calendars for April 2025 and prepare to be amazed!
