Narrator, Peter McAllum.Our planet has been shaped by powerful elemental forces, of earth, fire, ice, water, and wind. Over millions of years, they have given rise to natural icons of immense grandeur and variety. Mount Everest, Jordan's Dead Sea, Rotorua's boiling mud pools, Indonesia's archipelago, Sossusvlei's dunes, the Northern Lights, the Rockies, the Amazon, Antarctica, and more. Throughout six episodes, we travel worldwide, exploring. The icons are as different as the forces that created them, from exploding volcanoes to phosphorescent reefs, from snaking rivers to infinite ice sheets, from burning deserts to abyssal fjords. In turn, these natural wonders shape the evolution of all life.Rating: G.English SDH.DVD, NTSC, region 1; 5.1 surround.Title from disc surface.- Subjects: Documentary television programs.; Nature television programs.; Nonfiction television programs.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Earth sciences.; Geology.; Landforms.;
