The Living Edens

Patagonia: Life at the End of the Earth (1x2)

Data di messa in onda: Apr 30, 1997

Ferdinand Magellan stumbled upon this land off the shores of South America. Accounts of what he saw vary: giant, dancing natives or just very large footprints in the sand. It inspired the name Patagonia - the land of the big feet. From the towering mountains of Torres del Paine, across the alkaline basin of the arid steppes, to the sandy shores of the Atlantic coast, filmmaker Jeff Foott captures this alluring realm of wild extremes and bizarre creatures. It is on this magnificent Eden that elephant seals battle with terrific force to win a mate, where giant condors soar on swift currents, where killer whales command the Sea of Valdez and where penguins convene in the thousands.
