I can’t believe I missed Planet Earth last night! Especially now that everyone is talking about the ‘amazing caves‘. However, I do have the new Planet Earth book – the making of an epic series – in front of me. In this book you can read about some of the most extreme environmentalists in the world and check out behind-the-scenes photos of the making of the series. The immense Mexico’s Cave of the Swallow, the deepest cave hole in the world, looks as if it’s swallowing the Planet Earth Base-jumper! The cave is named after the thousands of swifts that roost there.
The threats were real – from angry whales and predatory mountain lions to deadly snakes and notorious bandits – but the rewards were great. What they observed and filmed ‘was spectacular… we had never seen anything like it.
