THE ANDES: What are Earth's longest mountains hiding? | Documentary
The thin air sears your lungs, and above you, only icy peaks arrogantly pierce the clouds. The Andes, the longest mountain range on the planet, have created their own, merciless vertical world. The usual laws of survival don't apply here. How can you breathe where oxygen is critically low, and the temperature fluctuations between day and night can freeze your blood? From giant condors soaring over bottomless canyons in search of prey, to elusive pumas and timid vicuñas gracefully leaping along sheer cliffs, these mountains are not the only ones conquered by wild animals. It was among these clouds that, millennia ago, humans built their mysterious stone empires. This documentary will take you to dizzying heights. You will see how the Earth's geological fury has given birth to an ecosystem where every living creature daily challenges nature itself. Ready to ascend?
