Odyssey of the Continents - Europe : The Modern Era

“Europe : The Modern Era” will take the audience back to the birth of the Alps. The traditional “Cristalier” clans who have been unearthing crystal for centuries explain to us how these huge summits evolved over a period of millions of years. Retrieving these gems requires huge risks and fatalities occur every year in treacherous mountain fissures. Comprehensive investigation leads researchers to understand that just a few million years ago the Mediterranean was actually a vast desert! The episode also features stories about superb Scandinavian fjords and those volcanoes about to erupt. Throughout the show, dazzling computer graphics will reawaken and bring to life Europe’s spectacular continental evolution. “Europe : The Modern Era” breathes relevance into ancient geology and traces an extraordinary history to show that the old world is in fact very dynamic.
