Visible from space, The Great Rift runs for thousands of miles; from majestic, snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro to the hustle and bustle of the Red Sea’s coral reefs. This is the wildest, most charismatic landscape in the world, spanning erupting volcanoes, forest-clad mountains, spectacular valleys, rich grasslands, vast lakes and mighty rivers – there is no greater spectacle of wildlife on Earth.
We discover the volcanic home of the Gelada Baboon and rare Ethiopian wolf; the misty Virunga Mountains, last refuge of the mountain gorilla; deep freshwater lakes each with its own unique species; shallow caustic soda lakes supporting hundreds of thousands of flamingos; and a sea world rich with giant corals and shoals of colourful fish.
In the great savannahs of the Serengeti and eastern Uganda, the richness of the landscape draws vast herds of zebra, wildebeest, elephant, cheetah and lion. And where grassland meets forest, we find chimpanzees whose lives mirror those of the first humans on earth. Great Rift features new discoveries, dramatic encounters and exciting animal behaviour and reveals a landscape that continues to surprise us.
$28.99 (AUD) Only discovered a century ago, mountain gorillas inhabit a fragile world. A small number of families cling to existence on the forested peaks of isolated volcanoes in three war-torn countries, surrounded on all sides by a growing human population. Using exclusive access and the latest technology, this extraordinary three-part documentary seeks to understand more about the lives, the history and the uncertain future of this charismatic species. | Wonders Of The Solar System (Blu-ray) $28.99 (AUD) This extraordinary 5 part series reveals the true and awesome beauty of our solar system. Giant ice fountains rising over 100km high; an ocean hidden beneath a frozen crust of ice; storms twice the size of Earth coloured blood red by a vortex of dust and gases; immense volcanoes that could rip a planet apart. Using the very latest breathtaking images sent directly from space, groundbreaking CGI transforms the static into the dramatic. Using the latest scientific knowledge beamed back from the fleet of probes, rovers and telescopes currently in space, this is a vivid and unprecedented tour of the world beyond our planet.
