I recently spent two years in the Arctic(北极) filming the series(连续剧) Blue Planet. I love being in an environment that hasn’t changed for 20,000 years. Of course it’s freezing, but it must be a healthy place because you never catch a cold.
When I am filming, I like to really feel how lonely the environment is. Filming underwater involves cutting through thick ice. When diving in, you should tie to a line. The person at the other end of the line has to pull you out fast if necessary.
At first I was a research diver for the British Antarctic Survey Project, but for me, science isn’t exciting enough. I’d always enjoy photography, and whenever camera teams passed through, they encouraged me to watch and learn. I was then able to move into filming in 1985 and have concentrated on Arctic and Antarctic wildlife ever since. I prefer to be face to face with the animals I’m filming. I haven’t been in the water with killer whales yet, but I plan to . Of course, it’s dangerous if you choose the wrong moment. They’re big animals and can move fast, so I’d be stupid to film them when they are searching for food!
I have never had problems with polar bears, although once I was frightened when one tried to get into my tent. Polar bears are bold, clever and dangerous. But I made the bear understand I wouldn’t hurt it.
Now I come back home, I work in the mornings and spend the afternoons swimming to keep fit. Now I’m fifty, and filming is harder. The challenge（挑战）for me is to go on with the high-quality work.
