World's Greatest Islands - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Archipelagos
In Archipelagos we discover the world's greatest island chains - clusters like the Cyclades, Fiji, Shetlands, Micronesia, and the Philippines. Each individual, yet sharing common bonds of geography, geology and genealogy.
Island Arks
In Island Arks we explore the Galapagos and other remote islands that revealed the processes of natural selection to the famous biologist. Along the way we'll explore the secret lives of the island's rare and often bizarre inhabitants.
Volcanic Islands
These volcanic island paradises are not for the faint hearted. While rich volcanic soils provide sustenance, life at the foot of these formidable natural wonders is perilous and island residents must always remain vigilant.
Island Nations
Adrift from continents, Island Nations are set worlds apart. Often small and remote enough to establish their own unique cultures, some have reached beyond their immediate surrounds to greatly influence the global community.
Nearshore Islands
Nearshore Islands are unexpected islands, so close to the shore that they blend in with the mainland. From the harbour islands of New York, and Sydney to the ancient sand island of Fraser, they are as diverse as they are unique.
Coral Islands
Constructed by Mother Nature, we explore some of the greatest Coral Islands. Tropical life is sublime, but the beautiful and delicate marine ecosystems that lie beneath the surface of the water is what truly sets them apart.
