剧情简介

Through intriguing storytelling and stunning photography, viewers find out about the people (past and present), plants, animals and archaeology of arid regions throughout the New World.
分集介绍
【沙漠鲸鱼】Desert Whales
Located just below the elbow of Baja California, San Ignacio lagoon is the temporary home to some of the peninsula’s most famous visitors–the Gray Whales. Each winter, pregnant females, and lustful males swim five thousand miles from the Arctic to visit this lagoon. Here, within a few hundred square miles, eighty percent of the majestic whales’ life cycle transpires. Observe feeding, nursing, teaching, cuddling, and courtship from a tiny fishing boat just a few feet away.
【乾涸的河流】River Runs Dry
The Gila River, after beginning its journey high in the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico, historically flowed entirely across the state of Arizona. But, like ninety percent of the Southwest United States’ remaining riparian areas, it is now used up and dries out merely halfway to its former confluence with the Colorado River. Revered as sacred by ancient peoples and modern-day indigenous people alike, the history of the Gila River is the story of nearly all, modern desert rivers.
【沙漠中的古人】Ancient Peoples of the High Desert
High in the foothills of the Bolivian Andes in the historic village of Santiago de K, life continues nearly the same as it has for centuries. An archeological site nearby reveals, through ancient ruins, just how little life has changed over the centuries. Here at over 12,600 feet above sea level, in the highest desert in the world, residents harvest the endemic potatoes and quinoa to use to barter for outside goods. Much of the native Quechua customs, music, and lifestyle have their roots in age-old traditions. There are some interesting, relatively modern influences such as the Carnaval celebration of the first potato crop of the season
【加拉帕戈斯群岛巨人】Giants on a Galapagos Island
This program visits one of the few inhabited islands in the Galapagos. Host David Yetman and ecologist Yar Petryszyn explore the people and culture of the island of Santa Cruz with a stroll through the market at Puerto Ayora.
Then it’s off to visit the Darwin Research Station and its famous saddle back tortoises, which are being reintroduced to the area after being hunted close to extinction. One of these tortoises, Diego, is named after the San Diego Zoo, which is home to a tortoise-breeding program.
Other highlights include a look at land iguanas, which also faced extinction from hunting, and the tree prickly pear that stands taller than a 2-story house. Finally, the crew jumps on a old bus and ventures up the mountain to find volcanic craters, Scalisia forests, wild Galapagos Tortoises and Darwin Finches?the birds that led to Darwin?s theory of evolution.
【乾旱与炎热】Of Drought and Fire
Within the last three decades there have been large wildfires consuming the forests in nearly all the mountain ranges above the desert southwest. Just below the ranges, the lack of rains combined with invasive species has caused additional wildfires that have devastated portions of the Sonoran Desert.
The link between drought and fire has pre-historic roots and host David Yetman and Tom Swetnam from The University of Arizona’s Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research travel through the desert to higher elevations that contain evidence of drought, fire, and civilization.
There is evidence that droughts drove early civilizations out of their dwellings on the Colorado Plateau and forced them to move nearer to the Rio Grande River. Yetman also ventures through a dog-hair thicket that has become dangerous because of previous land management practices and the lack of regular fire to regulate its growth.
Additionally featured in this episode is a hike through Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument to see how scientists study the adaptability of desert plants to long-term and short-term droughts.
