Canada: Bay of Fundy (1x5)

Date de diffusion: Oct 24, 2014

In Canada, on the Bay of Fundy, tracking the water cycle makes for a fascinating journey from ocean depths to far inland regions. Here, eclectic fauna and thriving flora affront the highest tides in the world. The powerful ebbs and flows of the water sweep a volume of water equivalent to all the earth’s rivers united into this bay. The intensity of the currents and the waves have created a unique marine environment where the giants of the sea delight in plankton and krill. It’s this particularity that enables the 500 remaining North Atlantic right whales to take refuge here every summer to feed.
