The World About Us: Discovering Galapagos

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A series of films from all over the world about our astonishing planet and the creatures that live on it.

Filmed by Heinz Sielmann.
Heinz Sielmann is one of the world's leading wildlife film-makers. In the colourful Galapagos Islands he obtained outstanding material on the unique penguins, albatrosses, sea-lions, and giant tortoises. His expedition landed on 'an island of dragons' among thousands of marine iguanas and also managed to film the amazing behaviour of the wood-pecker finch, one of the few animals in the world to use a tool.
Commentary by Derek Jones.
