Patagonia: Life on the Edge of the World

A journey from the foothills of the Patagonian Andes, where pumas hunt guanacos on the wild grasslands of the steppe. A place where humans and animals were once locked in conflict but changing attitudes has seen former enemies become allies.

Patagonia's ancient woodlands are magical and home to miraculous creatures. This is a journey of discovery, exploring forests that time forgot, revealing hidden treasures, and meeting the scientists and indigenous people working hard to protect them.

Along Patagonia's Pacific coast are deep, sheltered fjords and beautiful, flooded valleys, carved out by ice over millennia. During the summer, these nutrient-rich waters are in high demand from animals and people which threatens the natural balance.

A journey along Patagonia's Atlantic coast where the land may be barren, but the sea is rich with life. In this wild and unforgiving place, killer whales risk it all to survive while huge male elephant seals battle for the chance to breed.

We venture to Patagonia's far south, a land of extremes where wind speeds soar above 100 miles per hour and giant waves batter the coastline. For those that can survive the elements, the potential riches are great.

Ancient Patagonia woodland-a magical world, home to miraculous creatures. Explore the forests that time forgot, revealing their hidden treasures, and meet the scientists and indigenous people working hard to protect them.
