Omschrijving

1 Origin

The islands of the Galapagos rose explosively from the ocean four million years ago.  Although life would not seem viable in such a remote Pacific outpost, the first arrivals landed as the fires still burned.  David Attenborough explores the islands for the animals and plants that descend from these pioneers: from the sea birds carrying the seeds that made a tentative foothold on these rocks, to equator-dwelling penguins and a dancing bird with blue feet.

This is a story of treacherous journeys, life-forms that forged unlikely companionships, and surviving against all odds.  It is the story of an evolutionary melting pot in which anything and everything is possible.
