The last of a three-part journey to the Great Rift Valley of Africa.

In the barren landscape of the Ethiopian highlands there exists unique wildlife such as Simien jackals, giant mole rats and mountain nyala. A region which was once below sea level, the frozen highlands were thrust upwards during a period of massive geological upheaval. They then split apart, creating the Afar Triangle - an oppressively hot depression where people survive by mining salt and digging for precious water.
This is the most active part of the Rift Valley, where the African continent is gradually splitting apart, causing a widening of the Red Sea - still a young ocean with a wealth of coral reefs. And as the land splits apart, migration routes could eventually become severed.

The last in a five-part series which tells the story of shopping.

Austrian architect Victor Gruen was the Godfather of the shopping mall. A refugee from Nazi Europe, he went on to design the world's first shopping mall, which opened in Minneapolis in 1956. Since then, more than 35,000 malls have opened in America. Each new mall attempts to offer shoppers a greater range of attactions. At the Forum Mall in Las Vegas, for instance, the roof is a painted sky which changes from day to night every three hours.
But there's more than just shopping on offer. At the Mall of America there is a mall-walkers club, and even a chapel of love where you can experience a fuss-free bridal boutique and wedding ceremony rolled into one.
