The inspiration for Darwin’s theory of evolution, the Galapagos Islands are a living laboratory, a geological conveyor belt that has given birth to and seen the death of many species of plants and animals. As the western islands rise up from the sea offering a chance of life, the eastern islands sink back beneath the waves guaranteeing only death. Between the two are the middle islands; fertile, lush land in its prime that contains an incredible diversity of life. Nowhere else on the Earth are the twin processes of creation and extinction of species so starkly apparent… see it all unfold before your eyes in this stunning series filmed entirely in high definition from the BBC and the National Geographic Channel.

Synopsis (from Amazon.com):
True to the IMAX tradition, <em>Antarctica</em> is replete with breathtaking aerial and underwater footage of the earth’s highest, coldest, and driest continent. Most folks’ TVs are 4,500 times smaller than an IMAX screen–too small to duplicate the acrophobic-stomach sensation that is the hallmark of the IMAX in-theatre experience. All the same, like most IMAX movies, <em>Antarctica</em> has some of the best production values on film today. The story begins with a flock of penguins above–and below–water, and moves to gargantuan underwater ice sheets and then to a look at Antarctic climatic changes. Watch scientists locate and extract ancient ice to analyze preserved bubbles of ancient air, as well. Explorer Robert Scott makes an important contribution with his appealing voice and serene, well-articulated narrative. The DVD’s special features include Spanish and French language tracks, subtitling, and Internet links if you use the disc on your computer.
