Human beings have been exploring the profound meaning of nature. We explore the way of harmonious coexistence between people, animals and nature by exploring various extreme natural landforms and the life on this land. This time, we crossed the different ecology in the four corners of China, and tried to communicate with heaven and earth by exploring four awesome animals, by trying to feel them. They used to be totems in ancient times, and they were the animals at the top of the food chain - the Siberian tiger, the king of the forest, the white dolphin, the sea elf, the giant Asian elephant in the rainforest, and the wild yak, the messenger of the snow mountain. These four animals, known as flagship species, coexist with heaven and earth, coexist with human beings, and help human beings to dialogue with nature in a special way. The Land of the Gods is where those magical communications take place.
Natural history programming is given a shot in the arm as extreme volcano hunter Chris Horsley climbs deep inside some of the world's most active volcanoes to gather new scientific data from the very heart of their active lave filled cores. From Africa's Great Rift Valley to Central America's Volcanic Arc, Chris will take us closer than ever to the bowls of the world's most volatile volcanoes located in some of the most inhospitable landscapes on earth. 800 million people live in the shadow of the planet's 1,571 active volcanoes, so Chris isn't putting himself in harm's way for the pure thrill of it – by using innovative techniques, he wants to help predict future eruptions. He'll be installing an "early warning system" for eruptions including gas monitoring systems and surveillance web cameras at their rims to alert scientists and local communities about the ever-changing behaviour of volcanoes.
