Product Description: The inspiration for Darwin's theory of evolution, the Galapagos Islands are a living laboratory, a geological conveyor belt that has given birth to and seen the death of many species of plants and animals. As the western islands rise up from the sea offering a chance of life, the eastern islands sink back beneath the waves guaranteeing only death. Between the two are the middle islands; fertile, lush land in its prime that contains an incredible diversity of life. Nowhere else on the Earth are the twin processes of creation and extinction of species so starkly apparent... see it all unfold before your eyes in this stunning series filmed entirely in high definition from the BBC and the National Geographic Channel.

4 stars Galapagos
This DVD is stunning. If you're interested in our planet you will love this. Well done like Planet Earth.


1 stars incomplete specs
This may very well be a great cd but it would of been a nice guesture to add the fact that it requires a hd player in order for it to work at all,for an electronically challenged senior citizen like myself.


4 stars Caution: Amazon is shipping wrong region on this DVD
I've purchased this DVD twice in the last 8 months and both times received a DVD encoded for region 2 that would not load on my HD DVD players here in Oregon. Amazon custoemr service notes say "plays in all regions" -but I'm 0 for 2 tries on 2 differnt HD dvd players.
The material is fabulous - but they gave me a refund in lieu of the desired region DVD.


5 stars Must get it.
Magnificent picture quality, you must buy it if you wonder natural life's about far seas. I received it from Turkey only 10 day after I purchased it. Thanks for superfast delivery.


5 stars Can Not Believe the Views
The video is without a doubt the best I have seen yet so far in this type of media.

Ms. Weaver only adds to the seriousness of the awesome video. She too must have been ah wow struck while narrating.

My kids love it. Highly recommend.

Just a peeve but am I the only one who thinks history repeats itself with Blue-Ray being the winning versus HD-DVD.

The whole Beta-max versus VHS battle of the early days. I will say that HD-DVD is the format I would choose for best picture and sound but I am too small to count. Blue-Ray does beat old school DVD but doesn't hold a torch to HD-DVD (IMHO)

Lucky for me and others who have both readers in format. We get to enjoy HD-DVD the finest and the Blue-Ray second rated buyout deal someone decided on.

If you can view HD-DVD I would highly recommend this video as it draws you into the islands, like you are the dude who was watching the dude who was filming it, e.g. the introvert!
