Land of the Kiwi
Narrated by Barry Paine Some 1,200 years ago
Polynesian navigators discovered a new kind of Pacific island. This was no tropical atoll. It had mountains, ice-caps, glaciers, fiords, volcanoes, and forests full of strange plants and animals. There were reptiles like dinosaurs, gigantic insects, and birds that had forgotten how to fly. With thrilling aerial photography this programme explores the fascinating scenery and natural history of New Zealand.
