Brings to life the epic story of the people and landscapes of Minnesota - from the retreat of the last ice sheets to the growth of today’s suburbs - using nature videography from across the state, never-before-seen historic images, state-of-the-art animations, and historic recreations.

An international team of scientists, cavers and wildlife filmmakers venture deep into the heart of the remote tropical island of New Guinea.

The Earth’s continents are instantly recognizable. These iconic landmasses seem permanent and unchanging, yet they are merely the wreckage of a much larger long-lost supercontinent – Pangaea. In this stunning four part series Professor Iain Stewart uncovers the evidence for this ancient past. He reveals how the world around us is full of clues – in the rocks, the landscapes and even the animals. All of which tell us how the land we live on was created.

Charley Boorman embarks on an adventure in Sydney and travels up the Pacific Rim through Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, the Philippines and Taiwan, eventually finishing in Tokyo, Japan.

Engineering Nature

A BBC/Animal Planet co-production, the three-part series focuses on the landscape and wildlife of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa.

Des volcans et des hommes

Heart of the World delves into the true wonder and beauty of nature, taking us through the centuries of some of the most spectacular sights on earth - Colorado's National Parks. With stunning photography of the parks filmed throughout the seasons, these three hour-long episodes explore the geological history of each park, the forces of nature that changed them, and the people they have inspired.

Vulkane in Neuseeland

Dr Xand van Tulleken and Raksha Dave tell the dramatic story of the Boxing Day Tsunami, which killed more than 250,000 people.

Biologist Liz Bonnin and geologist Martin Pepper set out on a global expedition to answer the most thought-provoking questions in earth science today. Throughout history, such geologic events as volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, tectonic plate motion, earthquakes, and asteroid impacts have continually reshaped Earth's surface, spreading chaos across the planet. By performing experiments, making observations in the field, and consulting expert scientists, the eight-part series works to uncover Earth's immeasurable capacity to create and destroy.

From the Sun

In a country celebrated for its unique 'natural' beauty, Professor Iain Stewart reveals how every square inch of Scotland's landscape has been affected by centuries of human activity.

New Zealand is a geologically young land, created and shaped by tectonic forces, volcanism and the elements. It is a living laboratory for scientists seeking to more accurately understand and predict volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

Dive into the War in the Pacific like never before with this 10-part series chronicling the fight from prior to Pearl Harbor up until the last bomb was dropped.

A look ahead at the cataclysmic events that could extinguish the human race.

This extraordinary series is a sweeping account of the rise of Earth’s continents. They are the product of a grand waltz of plate tectonics and the continual evolution of Earth’s crust. As landmasses assemble and separate, they fuel volcanoes and spark earthquakes, building mountains and tearing valleys. We see the Earth, eons in the making, through the eyes of geologists and other scientists.
