Narrator, Peter McAllum.Our planet has been shaped by powerful elemental forces, of earth, fire, ice, water, and wind. Over millions of years, they have given rise to natural icons of immense grandeur and variety. Mount Everest, Jordan's Dead Sea, Rotorua's boiling mud pools, Indonesia's archipelago, Sossusvlei's dunes, the Northern Lights, the Rockies, the Amazon, Antarctica, and more. Throughout six episodes, we travel worldwide, exploring.
