| Summary |
Mountains are majestic, beautiful and awe-inspiring. They provoke both wonder and fear, because life at altitude is tough. Mountain dwellers must contend with the cold, thin air as well as dramatic changes in weather. Taking a different range in turn, these three films follow the animals who have made these wild places their home. How does a yak survive high up in the Himalayas? How does life change across the vast stretch of the Andes? And how do grizzly bears and cougars cope with the huge seasonal change of the Rockies? Beautiful and breathtaking, these films bring the incredible scale of the mountains to the screen. The highest mountain range on earth is home to extraordinary animals and remarkable ancient cultures. In the depths of winter, snow leopards creep into isolated mountain villages in search of food. In hidden valleys, bizarre-looking monkeys huddle for warmth in a frozen forest. Ancient Buddhist monasteries have age-old rituals creating beautiful works of art made from mountain sand, and athletes compete in the gruelling Everest marathon. Strange and exotic creatures live in the Himalaya - the chiru, with the warmest wool in the world, snakes bathing in hot springs and wild yaks competing in their annual rut |
