東非大裂谷自紅海至贊比西河口,連綿三千里,從太空都能看到。這�堿O多姿多彩的地方,有噴發的火山、覆蓋著森林的高山、美麗的峽穀、廣袤的草原、巨大的平湖和河流,是鱷魚、河馬、獅子、大象、火烈鳥和非洲人的家園。BBC採用最新的高清攝影技術,探討了形式東非大裂谷的地質力量,展現世界上野生動物品種最多的地貌。
Episode 1: Fire(0:58:48)
The valley is the product of deep-seated geological forces whichhave spewed out a line of cloud-wreathed volcanoes stretching from Ethiopia toTanzania. Their peaks provide a refuge for East Africa'smost extraordinary wildlife, including newly discovered and previously unfilmedspecies which have evolved surprising survival strategies to cope with theirchallenging mountain environment.
Episode 2: Water(00:59:00)
The Great Rift Valley channels a huge diversity of waterways -rivers, lakes, waterfalls, caustic springs and coral seas - spanning from Egyptto Mozambique. Some lake and ocean deeps harbour previously unseen life-forms,while caustic waters challenge life to the extreme. But where volcanic mineralsenrich the Great Rift's waterways, they provide the most spectacularconcentrations of birds, mammals and fish in all Africa.
Episode 3: Grass(00:58:21)
The Great Rift Valley provides the stage for an epic battlebetween trees and grass - its course influenced by volcanic eruptions,landscape and rainfall. On its outcome rests the fate of Africa'sgreat game herds. In the Rift's savannas, grazers and their predators struggleto outwit each other, forcing one group of primates to develop a social systemthat paved the way for the evolution of mankind.
