Uma Terra Espetacular

Os relâmpagos são um dos fenómenos mais assustadores e belos do planeta. Uma intrépida equipa parte na arriscada missão de se aproximar o mais possível de uma trovoada.

Nazaré in Portugal is the site of the biggest ocean waves ever recorded on Earth. To understand the science behind these monsters, this stunning natural history documentary plunges beneath the waves to reveal the sprawling landscapes of the seabed. It also travels to South Africa and witnesses the Sardine Run, captures a circular rainbow at Victoria Falls and chases tornados in the Midwest.

Volcan del Fuego in Guatemala is one of the most explosive volcanoes of them all. This jaw-dropping natural history documentary gets right inside this phenomenon using drones and by lowering a data gathering probe into the crater to unearth the science before it erupts. There are also spectacular flamingos flocking in Kenya, and a dramatic boiling geyser in Iceland.

The largest of all of Earth's spectacular displays stretches across thousands of kilometers in the night sky: the Aurora Borealis. The arctic wilderness of Northern Sweden is one of the best places to witness the aurora and this natural history documentary sets up camp there. Plus, the beauty of total eclipses is explored and mass turtle migrations in Costa Rica are recorded.
