Blue Planet
“Blue Planet” reveals the earth to us as only a few people have ever seen it: from space. Orbiting 200 miles above earth’s surface, we can see familiar landforms: the majestic Himalayas, giant Namib desert sand dunes, jewel-like Caribbean islands. From this unique vantage point we see how natural forces — volcanoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes — affect our planet, and how a powerful new force — humankind — has begun to alter the face of the earth. From Amazon rain forests to Serengeti grasslands, Blue Planet inspires a new appreciation of life on earth, our only home.
