Za poklady země (1954)

Apenas três séculos atrás, escalar uma montanha seria considerado perto da loucura. A idéia quase não existia que paisagens selvagens pudessem ter qualquer tipo de atração. Os picos eram lugares de perigo e não de beleza. Por que, então, estamos atraídos para as montanhas aos milhões? A MONTANHA nos mostra a força fascinante de lugares altos - e seu poder contínuo para moldar nossas vidas e nossos sonhos.

NGC goes inside one of the greatest natural marvels on the planet - a giant crystal cave described as Superman's fortress, with magnificent crystals up to 36 feet long and weighing 55 tons. A team of experts venture into the cavern, enduring scorching-hot temperatures that could kill a human after just 15 minutes of exposure. They'll push the boundaries of physical limitation to explore a crevasse that could lead to another - and perhaps more spectacular - crystal cave.

Four and a half billion years ago, the young Earth was a hellish place-a seething chaos of meteorite impacts, volcanoes belching noxious gases, and lightning flashing through a thin, torrid...

Geologist Ian Stewart explain in three stages of natural history the crucial interaction of our very planet's physiology and its unique wildlife. Biological evolution is largely driven bu adaptation to conditions such as climate, soil and irrigation, but biotopes were also shaped by wildlife changing earth's surface and climate significantly, even disregarding human activity.

Em 1898, um fazendeiro de Minnesota encontrou uma pedra que pode demonstrar que os Templários trouxeram o Santo Graal para a América.

Presenter Hannah Fry reveals how much our planet can change in just a single day and how these daily changes are essential to our existence.

Summer of 1960. A detachment of exploration geologists is working in the steppe region, and among them is Alyoshka, a guy who, before entering the geological exploration institute, decided to walk with geologists. Unskillful and messy in everyday life, he becomes the object of their jokes and practical jokes, which are not always harmless. However, his persistent character, his timid and pure love for the switchwoman Zinka, who lives with her grandfather on a crossing lost in the steppe, makes the guys from the squad take a different look at this inconspicuous guy and at his relationship with each other.

Os tsunamis são um dos fenómenos naturais mais mortíferos do planeta. Em qualquer lugar e no espaço de poucas horas, uma enorme onda pode destruir tudo e desaparecer, voltando para o sítio de onde tinha vindo. Que podemos fazer contra esta grande catástrofe natural? Como podemos enfrentá-la e proteger-nos melhor? Graças a um acesso exclusivo a Palu, na Indonésia, onde um violento tsunami assolou a região em 2018, uma equipa de destacados peritos internacionais levou a cabo a reconstituição científica da sequência de acontecimentos, para tirar conclusões para o futuro. Acompanha-nos numa viagem para conhecer a complexa mecânica dos tsunamis, as tecnologias de prevenção mais avançadas, e saber quais são os lugares que têm mais possibilidades de sofrer o próximo grande tsunami.

INFINITY minus Infinity draws on several inspirations: the modernist verse of the Jamaican poet Una Marson, the alluvial invocations of the Martinican philosopher and poet Édouard Glissant, the black feminist poetics of the Brazilian philosopher Denise Ferreira da Silva, and the racial formation of geology theorised by British geographer Kathryn Yusoff amongst others in order to envision a black feminist cosmos animated by the principles of mathematical nihilism.

What strange forces saved one isolated section along the Upper Mississippi River from the repeated crushing and scouring effects of glaciers during the last two million years? And what pre-Ice Age throwbacks survived here in this unique geologic refuge that holds more Native American effigy mounds, petroglyph caves, strange geological features, and rare species than anywhere in the Midwest? These questions and more are answered in this captivating new documentary. A team of scientists embarks on a journey of exploration to expose both the science and threats behind three unique features of the zone - rare plants and animals, odd geological phenomenon, and striking remnants of a Native American pilgrimage like no other.

This 3 episode series details the epic story of the origin of Europe - a place with a surprisingly diverse nature stretching from the snowy far north to the coast of Africa. Defined by volcanoes, ice ages, the collision of continents and even asteroids, the legacy of human history masks its awe-inspiring geological past. Born in the early days of the Earth, Europe is constantly being affected by the powerful forces of Mother Nature. It was forged in the fire and crushed by the collision of continents, carved by water and fire.
