大裂谷:美丽的非洲心脏
【内容简介】   东非大裂谷自红海至赞比西河口,连绵三千里,从太空都能看到。这里是多姿多彩的地方,有喷发的火山、覆盖着森林的高山、美丽的峡谷、广袤的草原、巨大的平湖和河流,是鳄鱼、河马、狮子、大象、火烈鸟和非洲人的家园。BBC采用最新的高清摄影技术,探讨了形式东非大裂谷的地质力量,展现世界上野生动物品种最多的地貌。   Visible from space, Africa's Great Rift Valley runs three thousand miles from the Red Sea to the mouth of the Zambezi. It's a diverse terrain of erupting volcanoes, forest-clad mountains, spectacular valleys, rolling grasslands, huge lakes and mighty rivers, and is home to crocodiles, hippos, lions, elephants, flocks of flamingos and a diversity of indigenous peoples.   Using state-of-the-art high definition filming techniques, this series investigates the geological forces which shaped East Africa's Great Rift, and which make it one of the world's most wildlife-rich landscapes.   Part 1: Fire   The valley is the product of deep-seated geological forces which have spewed out a line of cloud-wreathed volcanoes stretching from Ethiopia to Tanzania. Their peaks provide a refuge for East Africa's most extraordinary wildlife, including newly discovered and previously unfilmed species which have evolved surprising survival strategies to cope with their challenging mountain environment.   Part 2: Water   The Great Rift Valley channels a huge diversity of waterways - rivers, lakes, waterfalls, caustic springs and coral seas - spanning from Egypt to Mozambique. Some lake and ocean deeps harbour previously unseen life-forms, while caustic waters challenge life to the extreme. But where volcanic minerals enrich the Great Rift's waterways, they provide the most spectacular concentrations of birds, mammals and fish in all Africa.   Part 3: Grass   The Great Rift Valley provides the stage for an epic battle between trees and grass - its course influenced by volcanic eruptions, landscape and rainfall. On its outcome rests the fate of Africa's great game herds. In the Rift's savannas, grazers and their predators struggle to outwit each other, forcing one group of primates to develop a social system that paved the way for the evolution of mankind.

太阳系的奇迹
布赖恩考克斯教授游历地球上一些最令人惊奇的地点,向观众展示和剖析自然法则所造就的太阳系的伟大自然奇观。   第1集 太阳帝国   第 2集 从混沌到秩序   第3集 蔚蓝色的大气层   第4集 生与死   第5集 未知世界   Professor Brian Cox visits some of the most stunning locations on earth to describe how the laws of nature have carved natural wonders across the solar system.   In this first episode Brian explores the powerhouse of them all, the sun. In India he witnesses a total solar eclipse - when the link to the light and heat that sustains us is cut off for a few precious minutes.   But heat and light are not the only power of the sun over the solar system. In Norway, Brian watches the battle between the sun's wind and earth, as the night sky glows with the northern lights.   Beyond earth, the solar wind continues, creating dazzling aurora on other planets. Brian makes contact with Voyager, a probe that has been travelling since its launch 30 years ago. Now 14 billion kilometres away, Voyager has just detected the solar wind is beginning to peter out. But even here we haven't reached the end of the sun's rule.   Brian explains how its greatest power, gravity, reaches out for hundreds of billions of kilometres, where the lightest gravitational touch encircles our solar system in a mysterious cloud of comets.   1 Empire of the Sun   2 Order out of Chaos   3 The Thin Blue Line   4 Dead or Alive   5 Alie

梦幻珊瑚海:唤醒
From the creators of "Dreams of the Coral Sea" in 1999. Stunning film, which opens the depths of life and death of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia Ningaluu Reef and the Coral Reef Papua New Guinea. The award-winning, the famous filmmaker David Hannan worked for 7 years to create this magical video evidence of the extraordinary underwater world. Music composer Tania Rose.

After many years dedicated to filming and editing in glorious High Definition, David Hannan's new underwater masterpiece is coming out now.   Over 84 extraordinary minutes, Coral Sea Dreaming – Awaken enters into the very heart of life – and death – on a coral reef. It is a story that spans 500 million years and stars some of the most exotic and wondrous marine creatures on earth.  Coral is the planets greatest natural architect, and coral reefs boast the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem.   Emmy Award-winning cinematographer David Hannan has filmed for 7 years to create this magnificent testimony to our extraordinary undersea world, set to an original score by Tania Rose.  We meet thousands of reef inhabitants, from ancient turtles to feeding sharks, adorable pygmy seahorses and savage sea slugs, witness a manta ray ballet and courting octopus.  Specialized state-of-the-art High Definition technology captures these lives with unprecedented intimacy, illustrating elaborate courtship displays, mating rituals, feeding frenzies, intense night-time predation, cannibalism and chemical warfare.   David Hannan is renowned not only for his filmmaking, but also the conservation that is activated by his films. This is the driving force behind his work.   Filled with startling HD scenes of exotic sea creatures, this is David Hannan's latest underwater masterpiece, a 'state of the art virtual experience' and window onto another world.   Many of the sequences have never been filmed before.  Some may never be filmed again.  Corals have survived 5 mass extinctions. But can they survive us?   Filmed over 2000 dives on three great coral reef ecosystems; The Great Barrier Reef,  Ningaloo Reef, and Papua New Guinea, Coral Sea Dreaming - Awaken is a celebration of reefs now under threat of climate change and ocean acidification. There is much to be done to safe-guard these precious ecosystems for future generations. And very little time to do it.
