The wide open spaces -- home to some of the most spectacular wildlife in the world. Across the endless plains of the Serengeti, the crisp white expanses of the Arctic and the windswept, breathtaking Himalayan Plateaux, innovative techniques allow us to access remote habitats and capture rare animal behavior, without disrupting the animals' daily struggle for survival. We spy on wolves and foxes as they employ novel hunting techniques; on hippos foraging at night; on polar bears courting.
Water makes up more than 70 percent of our planet, yet below the surface is a secret world unknown to most of us. Spending time beneath the depths proves difficult and dangerous, but developments in technology have begun to allow us to reach places we never thought possible. Robot cameras disguised as sea life bring us close to nature's deadliest predators and high up, aerial cameras track the oceans' most prolific travelers over thousands of miles.
Dense forests, vast tracts of mountains and rugged terrain -- these are the earth's remote, isolated wild places. Life here is hard and recording it just as challenging. Finding and then getting close to the few, wary creatures of these special worlds has taken decades. Nat Geo joins the dedicated naturalists and filmmakers who, with the help of new technology, risk their lives to capture stunning and unforgettable footage. Beauty and brutality are unveiled, and rare and precious ecosystems.
