PLANET EARTH

the making of an epic series

that have generated as many gripping tales as PLANET EARTH.

With producers and camera people travelling to almost every corner of the world,

from the highest mountains to the lowest depths,

their adventures have been many and unforgettable.

Using every kind of craft and technological wizardry imaginable,

they have also witnessed remarkable events and viewed extraordinary

landscapes from new perspectives.

This book tells the dramatic tales of their encounters,

discoveries and many trials and tribulations,

that makes the TV series so special.

Chapters include:

Under canvas in the freezing Gobi

The thrill of Everest and K2

To the top of the world's tallest trees
