Don't know whether you statesiders will get to see this but there's a new three-part series on Galapagos just started from the BBC. I watched the first episode last week - which went into the history of the islands and how they continually change as they shift further from the volcanic seems that create them. Stunning photography - both aerial and underwater.

Here's the blurb for this week's episode...

In the early 16th century, the first person in recorded history to set foot on Galapagos, the Bishop of Panama, deemed it a hellish place. He found no water and two of his men and ten of his horses perished.
Through time this forbidding archipelago became the haunt of pirates and whalers, but as more people came to Galapagos, they began to see it in a whole new light.
In 1835, Charles Darwin's brush with these islands became the catalyst for a revolution that would transform our understanding life on Earth
With a blend of iconic drama reconstruction, spectacular aerial photography and stunning natural history sequences this programme unravels the hidden side of Galapagos, and why it is such a fascinating showcase for evolution.
Witness flightless cormorants hunting underwater, short-eared owls stalking nesting petrels, frigatebirds bathing in magical forest enclaves and giant tortoises courting on the rim of an active volcano in an age-old ritual.

I watch the re-run on saturdays, it was very pleasant, specially the albatrosses.

[marteee]

yer that was kinda cool - stunning birds!

[Ghandi]

gracefull in flight, clumsy when landing with hilarious waddle when walking. I loved the way they re-established relationships with that right odd squawk. The only bird better than an albatross is a kakapo. oh and penguins.
