Summary: Looks at our planet as a whole and considers the key factors that have shaped its natural history. The lives of animals and plants are dominated by the sun and fresh water which trigger seasonal journeys. In the Arctic spring, a mother polar bear and cubs emerge from their winter den. They have just two weeks to cross the frozen sea before it melts and they become stranded. Further south, time-lapse cameras capture the annual transformation created by the Okavango floods in Botswana.
