S1E2 - Heat and Dust 2015-10-02

From the Andes peaks, we follow the path of the relentless wind, sweeping east through Patagonias dry desert. We discover a weird world of maras - giant guinea pigs - and desert-dwelling penguins, and witness the first faltering steps of baby guanacos - Patagonias very own camels. People live here too - brave souls who have taken on this arid world and carved out a home.

S1E3 - Life on the Edge 2015-10-09

This is the story of an awe-inspiring coastline 4,000 miles long. From the cold, fearsome waters of Cape Horn, where brave rockhopper penguins overcome huge challenges to raise their young, to the far north, with huge elephant seals battling for position in the heat of the desert. Orcas ram-raid the beaches, grabbing seal pups to feed their young. People gather the seas bounty too, but these shores are not for the faint-hearted.
