The world is addicted to oil. But now the easy pockets of oil are gone and the race is on to find new sources. Nowhere is the battle more intense than in Alaska - source of nearly 15% of America's domestic production, and home to the nation's largest wildlife preserve, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where companies are pushing to drill. EXPLORER travels back millions of years to see how oil was created, and looks to the future to ask how far we'll go to find every last barrel and at what cost.

Sharks have thrived in the oceans for over 350 million years, but around 20 million years ago a new species emerged in the fossil records in a form unlike ever seen before... the Hammerhead Shark. Why did this bizarre looking creature evolve was it a need for greater maneuverability, a need for a more advanced sensory system or was it a genetic mistake? And how has the Hammerhead continued to survive? Scientific evidence suggests that Hammerheads seek out distant destinations but what prompts them to travel these great lengths? How do they navigate? Do they possess an internal compass? Do they possess a map? Dr. Pete Klimley is seeking to answer these questions and discover how Hammerheads live and survive across the turbulent seas by mapping their underwater movements. In a world threatened by over fishing and declining populations the Hammerhead Highway may be the key to understanding and ensuring the Hammerheads survival.
