In the Arctic, a mother polar bear trailed by her two cubs searches for food as their icy hunting grounds
melt away. A herd of African elephants slowly traverses the arid Kalahari Desert toward the water-rich
Okavango Delta. A humpback whale and her calf make a 4,000-mile journey in an epic migration that
takes them from tropical waters all the way to Antarctica. Remarkable high-definition footage follows
these creatures and more to places human beings rarely see, capturing unique worlds populated by
Mandarin ducks and birds of paradise, as well as a pride of lions and a vast caribou herd. Filled with
surprising facts and extraordinary images, Earth is a dazzling portrait of life on our planet.
