Cocos Island - The mysterious island in the Pacific - FULL VERSION!!


Unfortunately, the previously uploaded version was not complete: It aborts in minute 22. Here finally is the complete documentary.
Have fun with it! :)

Coconut Island protrudes from the Pacific Ocean as the peak of a lone volcano, far off the Costa Rican coast. At the end of the 18th century, the English author Robert Louis Stevenson is said to have received the inspiration for his novel „Treasure Island“ here.

The tiny island comprises just 25 sqm² and is covered by an impenetrable jungle. Numerous streams, waterfalls and gorges epitomise the world‘s largest uninhabited rain forest island. Due to its isolation, unique flora and fauna have developed here. Today, as a national park and world natural heritage, the island is closely supervised by park rangers.

The outstanding underwater world surrounding the island abounds with marine fauna of every description. Hardly any other destination is as well-known for its countless large fish varieties, especially hammerhead, reef and offshore sharks. The film‘s author submerged to depths up to 400 meters on board the „Deep Sea“, a modern research submarine. During the dive, he ucceeded in shooting material of rare deep sea fish and shark species, which have never before been sighted near Coconut Island.

Deadliest Journeys - Peru: Vertigo In The Andes


From the south to the north of Peru, deep canyons cut through the Andes mountain range. To supply gold mines, cultivate their vines or quite simply return to their villages, men have no other choice but to embark on improbable tracks, cut in the rock. At the end of the road, the big companies always find their place there, baited by the fabulous natural resources of the country, whether it is its basements filled with precious metals or its waters full of fish. But it is rare that all this wealth benefits small hands, those who have to bend in half at the end of the galleries, scrape the earth in the ammonia vapors or risk their lives at the end of a 60 rope. meters high, for a handful of euros… From the valley of the Marañon river to the Cotahuasi canyon through the Paracas desert, this Route of the Impossible takes the crossroads of a Peru with grandiose landscapes, but where life comes at a high price…

Be A Predator : Oceans (Wildlife Documentary)


Imagine you are flying above the African savannah, swimming under Antarctic ice, climbing up Amazon trees and diving the Marianna abyss.

Imagine you can suddenly see in the night, hear ultra-sounds, decode radar waves and detect electric fields.

1,2,3… you are a lion or else a dolphin, a bear or a vulture!

Using the latest technologies of image treatment and stock footage from Saint Thomas Productions’ extensive film library, this wildlife series presents an insider’s view of the predators’ life and senses. Both spectacular and entertaining, the series gives a modern outlook on nature and its most spectacular ambassadors: predators.
Each episode depicts a predator and its hunting techniques in its natural habitat. Following the principles of a food chain, the programmes jump from one animal to the next, from hunter to prey.

Oceans

Sharks or Dolphins, two predators, two morphological responses to the same environmental constraints. Which one is the better adapted to survive?
An underwater camera passes swiftly over a coralline sandbank then stops on a black and image of a razor fish lurking in wait. Several bottlenose dolphins forage in this location. The mothers use echolocation to spot razor fish and teach their young how to master this sophisticated sense that we don’t know. Other bottlenose dolphins have developed yet another spectacular application of this sense: they hunt grey mullets in the muddy mangrove waters and strand them on the banks. Other dolphin species use this natural sonar in different ways: some descend in group in the abyss to locate anchovy shoals. They force them up to a lesser depth where they will get stuck by the natural frontier of the water surface. But how is it possible to hunt in the darkness of the abyss without this super-sense? Seals have found an answer to this question, thanks to their vibrissae. These whiskers can detect the movements of prey in total darkness. But what can really be seen with these whiskers and how do they use them? That is what a young sea lioness in Patagonia and a grey seal in Scotland learn… before they suddenly end up in the jaws of a super-predator, a killer whale. How can they resist? To rule over the oceans, this animal an array of senses, a hunting culture transmitted from one generation to the next and an adaptability to changing environmental conditions.

Deadliest Journeys - Borneo: The Jungle Convoy


Borneo has one of the last primary forests in Southeast Asia. A treasure that makes the fortune of forestry operations. Loggers and drivers come from all over Indonesia to seek the best wages in the country, slaughtering with all their might. Dangerous work carried out under extreme conditions. Massive deforestation has disfigured the region to the point of endangering the wildlife and indigenous peoples who live there. Borneo, the fourth largest island in the world, has become the symbol of this unequal struggle against the big companies which exploit its wealth to the detriment of its inhabitants, its fauna and its flora.

Arqueología 2.0 - En busca de huellas con la tecnología | DW Documental


Hoy, en arqueología a menudo se trabaja sin pala. Con frecuencia se utiliza lo último en tecnología. Una ventaja para la ciencia: los métodos geofísicos han dado un enorme aumento en el conocimiento.

De esta manera, los arqueólogos han descubierto miles de nuevos yacimientos arqueológicos sin necesidad de excavar. Este documental acompaña a un grupo de arqueólogos en su viaje al pasado virtual. Los métodos geofísicos no provienen originalmente de la arqueología, sino del ámbito militar. Con esta tecnología y la ayuda de la geomagnética, debían rastrearse submarinos enemigos; en la arqueología, por otro lado, ahora se están revelando muros, fosos y tumbas en el suelo. En Irlanda, científicos irlandeses y alemanes buscan legendarias murallas y túmulos funerarios del Neolítico. En la ciudad alemana de Glauberg, el estudio geofísico revela vías procesionales ocultas. Arqueólogos subacuáticos de Bremerhaven, en el norte de Alemania, utilizan tecnología la digital para reconstruir barcos hundidos. En Berlín, un equipo de arqueólogos desarrolla un proyecto junto con diseñadores de juegos. De esta forma se generó la copia virtual de un templo de Alepo. Antes de la guerra, los berlineses lo escanearon milimétricamente, sin sospechar lo importantes que llegarían a ser esos datos. Ahora, el templo se encuentra muy dañado. Gracias a los datos del escáner, el templo del Dios del Tiempo, en Alepo, aún se puede admirar, al menos de forma virtual.
