episode description

The Alps are one of the largest and highest mountain ranges on the Planet and represent one of Europe’s last natural strongholds. This web of peaks and valleys divides the deciduous forests of central Europe from the arid evergreen forests of the Mediterranean and supports a huge variety of habitats, from verdant valleys and steep mountain gorges to ice and rock fields that dominate the summits. Glaciers, avalanches and severe winters, continuously contour the landscape and are the driving force behind a huge diversity of life. The mountains home to over 30,000 animal species and 13,000 plants. Creatures, big and small, have evolved remarkable adaptions in order to survive in these unforgiving yet beautiful landscapes.
