Chimborazo, Cotopaxi,
Antisana - an avenue of the world's greatest volcanoes strides across the equator pointing vast icecaps into the tropical sky. Every day, as the sun climbs, ice thaws and the waters of the Amazon begin to flow.
This programme follows the course of the greatest river in the world as it drops miles down through cloud, forest and gorge to the steaming jungle. It portrays in dramatic detail the complex life of the trees and rivers of the Amazon rainforest - home of gorgeous birds and innumerable monkeys. Film cameramen HUGH MILES NEIL RETTIG.
