Water is the foundation of life on Earth. From the Amazon rainforest to the deserts of Namibia, from Arctic geothermal springs to the depths of the ocean, water shapes ecosystems, cultures, and survival itself. Subscribe to Our World: bit.ly/3xnPuGL
From space, we can see Earth for what it really is - a blue planet ... a world of water. This three part series takes a journey across the world, exploring life in and around its oceans, lakes and rivers. Boiling springs support mats of bacteria that may provide clues to the origins of life. Frozen seas provide floating platforms for penguin and polar bears, and parched deserts are home to lavish, man-made oases.
This film was first broadcast: 2001
