Arizona’s recent cold snap is enough to drive winter chills down the spine. So why not go somewhere tropical — such as Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea? Easier done than said, at least when one considers the National Geographic Live series. Coral, Fire and Ice begins in this remote corner of the “coral triangle” — an amazing hub of marine biodiversity. This undersea wilderness features fingernail-sized pygmy seahorses and 60-foot tall towers of barracudas, among other amazing creatures. Shot by Nat Geo photographers Jennifer Hayes and David Doubilet, the film also takes a cold dip beneath Antarctic sea ice, capturing images of mysterious leopard seals, penguins, ancient shipwrecks and stunning icebergs. Whales, wolfish, salmon and harp seals shot in the Arctic round out the presentation and should, by all accounts, make Arizona seem mighty warm, even this time of year.
