Description

The inspiration for Darwin's theory of evolution the Galapagos Islands are a living laboratory a geological conveyor belt that has given birth to and seen the death of many species of plants and animals. As the western islands rise up from the sea offering a chance of life the eastern islands sink back beneath the waves guaranteeing only death. Between the two are the middle islands; fertile lush land in its prime that contains an incredible diversity of life. Nowhere else on the Earth are the twin processes of creation and extinction of species so starkly apparent... see it all unfold before your eyes in this stunning series filmed entirely in high definition from the BBC and the National Geographic Channel.

Review by Noel on 31st May, 2011
5 stars "Majestic footage and involved storyline make a fascinating watch"

Excellent coverage of one of those “must see” places on the planet. Great storyline of how the islands are evolving geologically and why the oceans currents are so rich in marine life. Therefore attracting different avian life. Even a Kiwi angle in that it was a NZ helicopter company used to kill huge numbers of historically imported animal pests. I was there the same time they were filming some of this and managed to learn much from this series. Watch it, then go there and really appreciate it!
