Story :

The islands that changed the world.

The Galapagos islands are a fascinating microcosm of our planet and home to some of the most astonishing creatures found anywhere on Earth: iguanas swim the sea like dragons; short-eared owls stalk petrels by day and 500 pound giant tortoises bellow over lava fields.
One thousand kilometers due west of Ecuador; where four major ocean currents unite; vast undersea volcanoes break the surface of the Pacific Ocean. Early explorers described these otherworldly islands as "Las Encantadas" - "the Enchanted Isles;" but in time they became known as "Galapagos;" the "Islands of the Tortoises."

Using spectacular HiDefinition cinematography from land; sea and air; and blending dramatic landscapes with intimate animal behavior; drama reconstruction and stunning satellite imagery; this ambitious series presents the most complete portrait ever of these fascinating islands.

Galapagos reveals how wildlife has found the most enterprising ways to survive on this restless volcanic outpost; why these islands are such a fascinating showcase for evolution; and the profound forces that influence the delicate balance of life.

Against a backdrop of smoldering volcanoes; brittle lava fields; fields of giant cactus and wave-pounded shores; witness blue-footed boobies plunge-diving into treacherous waters; sea lions surfing; the beautiful courtship dance of the waved albatross; Darwin's finches as crafty tool-users and hawks hunting marine iguanas.

Galapagos is unlike any other place on Earth.
