Punk Puffins and Hard Rock Narrated by David Attenborough
Off the coast of Alaska lies a tiny, volcanic island -
St Lazaria. Strange arches and pinnacles line its shore, and mysterious submarine caverns run deep into its heart.
Punk-plumed puffins parade on cliffs that are crowned by rain forest. At night the forest comes alive as clamorous hordes of storm-petrels return from far out to sea. Incredibly, half-a-million nest on this one minute island.
