This opening episode travels with the islands through the fascinating stages of their lives, and reveals how creatures have found the most enterprising ways to get to grips with the restless Pacific outpost. Witness the dramatic eruption of the largest of all the Galapagos volcanoes, Sierra Negra, blowing smoke and ash 7 miles in to the sky - Galapagos giant tortoises, the largest on Earth, being groomed by Darwin's finches - and the magical courtship display of the waved albatross. |
