1 | "Fire and Ice" | Tuppence Stone | 25 September 2015 | |
A glimpse at the rarely seen South American wilderness, home to a range of creatures from terrain as varied as the Andes to Cape Horn. Cameras reveal the secret lives of pumas and hummingbirds, soar with condors over glacial peaks and explore monkey puzzle forests dating back to the time of the dinosaurs. The extreme kayakers who gain thrills and excitement from traversing the area's raging waterfalls are observed, as are the native cowboys, known as gauchos, as they round up wild horses. | ||||
2 | "Heat and Dust" | TBA | 2 October 2015 | |
This episode follows the path of the relentless wind sweeping east through Patagonia's dry desert from the Andes' peaks. The programme reveals a weird world of maras - a large relative of the guinea pig - and penguins, and witnesses the first faltering steps of baby guanacos - Patagonia's very own camels. Cameras also observe the people who have taken on this inhospitable environment and carved out a home for themselves. | ||||
