In the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, there is a paradise unlike any other: the Galapagos. Amongst these remote volcanic islands, life has played out over millions of years in relative isolation. The result is a wonderland of nature, with a remarkable collection of plants and charismatic animals that have all adapted to this unique environment.
Meet giant half-ton tortoises and marine iguanas that spit sea salt from their noses. Dance with tropical albatrosses and hunt fish with the colorful blue-footed boobies. Dive into the ocean with flightless cormorants and swim with tiny penguins thousands of miles away from their natural habitats.
Around the archipelago, converging crosswinds and deep, cold, nutrient-rich currents have made possible a unique and biodiverse marine oasis, which boasts everything from abundant microscopic plankton to Galapagos sharks.
Narrated by Jeff Corwin, this is a story of discovery, survival against the odds, and nature’s ingenuity. You’re invited to explore these extraordinary and enchanted islands, whose remarkable inhabitants helped change the way we understand nature.
Galapagos is an nWave Pictures Distribution release of a Colossus Productions film in association with SKY 3D. Written by David Attenborough, the film is produced by Anthony Geffen, directed by Martin Williams, and features music by Joel Douek.
