Summary: This program starts with the birth of a mountain at one of the lowest places on Earth and ends at the summit of Everest. Features one of Earth's rarest phenomena, a lava lake that has been erupting for over 100 years. The same forces built the Simian Mountains where troops of gelada baboons live, nearly a thousand strong. In the Rockies, grizzlies build winter dens inside avalanche-prone slopes. Among other mountain-dwelling animals, also shows a snow leopard hunting on the Pakistan peaks, a world first.
