It is a land of ice and fire, where a glacier thundering into the ocean is surrounded by dense forest alive with humming-birds Using the resources and experience of the universally famous BBC Natural History Unit and five expert wildlife cameramen, Michael Andrews produced a unique photographic portrait of a little known yet intensely beautiful world.
The Andes, Andes Mountains or Andean Mountain Range are the longest continental mountain range in the world, forming a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. The range is 8,900 km long and 200 to 700 km wide (widest between 18°S and 20°S latitude) and has an average height of about 4,000 m
Earth Longest Mountain Range: The Andes Mountains 、 Life journeys to the rooftop places of our world to meet the people who cherish, honour, and fight for them. From farmers, artists, and rescue teams, to scientists, musicians, and monks, this series reveals the different ways these mountain-dwellers have adapted to the high life
The Andes - World in the Clouds - Wildest Latin America The longest chain of mountains in the world at 7200km, the Andes run the length of western South America and dictate the climate for the whole continent. From the northern coasts of Venezuela to the tip of Tierra del Fuego in Chile, they include some of the highest peaks outside the Himalayas.
Live volcanoes punctuate the range, and form part of the Pacific Rim of Fire. This film explores how life has managed to exist in this high altitude world of extremes.
Pumas roam the mountain slopes searching for a meal. Condors glide over 5000 metres above them hoping to scavenge a free meal from their leftovers.
High altitude cloud forests cling to the steep slopes and carpet a rich world of spectacled bears, colourful birds and unique plants. The jungle also cloaks the deserted mountain cities of ancient and mysterious peoples - long since reclaimed by nature. Yet people still live in the thin air and extreme exposures of the Andes.
The Quechua are some of the world’s most adapted peoples. Every day is an uphill struggle. In Peru and Bolivia, the Andes have thrust expansive desert plains and salt pans 3 miles into the sky. Known as the altiplano, these high altitude plateaus are some of the most extreme habitats on Earth.
Baking heat claims the day, and frigid winter grips the night. The highest geysers in the world attest to the volcanic instability of the whole area. Flamingoes sieve the saline pools for brine shrimp and altitude adapted animals like viscachas and vicunas graze the plains.
