episode description

The Alps – Europe’s heart of stone and its highest mountain range. Born 130 million years ago from the collision of Africa and Europe, they still rise today. This film follows scientists on a journey from the mountains’ dramatic origins to the threats of the future. From climate change and melting glaciers to rockfall risks and underground megaprojects like the Brenner Base Tunnel, researchers decode the Alps’ complex geology to understand how these iconic peaks are transforming – and what dangers lie ahead.
