The narrator explains how the breathtaking rock formations of Antelope Canyon came to be, and why mountains around the world can provide a metaphor for human existence.

The earth's bodies of water are the focus of this film about evolution. As the narrator points out, the vast depths of the earth's oceans remain barely explored.

Fracking is a controversial topic. This animated video tries to take a neutral look at fracking. It is relevant for all of us, because of high prices for energy and the danger to our drinking water.

California sea lion communication, mating habits, and past and present threats to their survival are discussed. This segment additionally features amazing aerial photography of their rocky coastal habitats.
