Galapagos
BBC TWO
Fri 6 Oct, 21:00 - 21:50 50 mins
In the early 16th century, the first person in recorded history to set
foot on Galapagos, the Bishop of Panama, deemed it a hellish place. He
found no water and two of his men and ten of his horses perished.
Through time this forbidding archipelago became the haunt of pirates
and whalers, but as more people came to Galapagos, they began to see it
in a whole new light.
In 1835, Charles Darwin's brush with these islands became the catalyst
for a revolution that would transform our understanding life on Earth
With a blend of iconic drama reconstruction, spectacular aerial
photography and stunning natural history sequences this programme
unravels the hidden side of Galapagos, and why it is such a fascinating
showcase for evolution.
Witness flightless cormorants hunting underwater, short-eared owls
stalking nesting petrels, frigatebirds bathing in magical forest
enclaves and giant tortoises courting on the rim of an active volcano
in an age-old ritual. [AD,S]
