Galapagos with David Attenborough

Galapagos with David Attenborough follows broadcaster and natural historian David Attenborough to one of the most unique and biologically diverse spots on the planet: the Galapagos Islands. Renowned for being the site of Charles Darwin’s famous evolutionary epiphanies, the Galapagos Islands are today the home to hundreds of truly unique creatures that cannot be found anywhere else.

Attenborough takes the time to wade through the history of these strange and enchanting islands. He starts with the volcanos that first formed the barren lumps of rock in the middle of the sea and traces the history of the islands through their life cycle as volcanic offshoots, the creatures that find a place to live in between the cracks, and the careful balance that each new species must strike between the hard rocks and the boundless, all-encompassing ocean that surrounds them.
