Vulnerable countries are working towards developing reliable early warning systems so that they can better prepare their people and cities when quakes occur. Island: This programme looks at some of the most isolated and beautiful islands on the planet, including Easter Island with its stone sculptures, the treeless expanses of the Shetland Islands and the Pharaoh Islands, initially settled by Irish monks and Vikings. Lake: This programme looks at how Russia makes use of its huge lakes during the winter when they freeze over and the effect on global warming when the lakes starts to thaw, releasing methane and carbon dioxide as they do so.

At the current rate climatologists expect the Arctic to be completely ice-free as early as 2050. This DVD shows the importance of the ice to the animals who live there especially the seal, which relies on it to give birth and to rest, and the polar bear which roams the ice searching for seals. |
