GALAPAGOS: BORN OF FIRE (UK, 2006, 49 min.)
Witness giant Galapagos tortoises, the largest on earth, being groomed by Darwin’s finches; the magical courtship display of the waved albatross and the dramatic eruption of the largest Galapagos volcano, Sierra Negra, blowing smoke and ash seven miles into the sky.
This opening episode of the “Galapagos” series examines the fascinating stages in the development of these islands and reveals how creatures have found the most enterprising ways to come to grips with their restless Pacific outpost. Produced by BBC Natural History Unit with National Geographic and BBC Worldwide. Grand Teton Award.
