Product Overviews

The inspiration for Darwin's theory of evolution, the Galapagos Islands are a living laboratory, a geological conveyor belt that has given birth to and seen the death of many species of plants and animals. As the western islands rise up from the sea offering a chance of life, the eastern islands sink back beneath the waves guaranteeing only death. Between the two are the middle islands; fertile, lush land in its prime that contains an incredible diversity of life. Nowhere else on the Earth are the twin processes of creation and extinction of species so starkly apparent... see it all unfold before your eyes in this stunning series filmed entirely in high definition from the BBC and the National Geographic Channel.

Galapagos [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers

I was hesitating and a bit skeptical when picking up this blu-ray from the humongous list of available nature-related documentaries. This blu-ray definitely worthed the price. Just put it into the player to have a quick look-and-browse of its content and ended up watching the whole content with my 6year old daughter. Since that first time we watched it together another 3 times. Its absolutely amazing. I wish they'd come out with the 3D version of this documentary. The quality was surprising me the most. I bought a couple of blu-rays in the past, mostly movies and I can tell that they are nowhere nearby this one as far as clarity of the images, motions.
It's a great choice to anybody who loves to virtually visit distant places with amazing populations and species.

1st and 3rd episodes are better - Learner - Chicago
I really enjoyed watching it, the 1st and 3rd episodes dive into the Galapagos in a way I've never imagined. The 2nd episode highlights Darwin, but to me it didn't really enhance the DVD...But it was a great watch

A must have Blu-Ray for your HD documentary library! - Jeffrey A - Miami
The blu-ray `Galapagos' certainly lives up to the caption on the back cover ... 'the stunning special as seen on National Geographic Channel'.

(See my customer images)

This BBC Video is a 'must have' for your HD documentary library. The narration by Tilda Swinton is refreshingly different.

`Galapagos' is simply enthralling , capturing the same magic as the legendary Planet Earth Series, in just one disc!

With giant five hundred pound, one hundred and fifty year old tortoises, marine iguanas and even flamingoes inhabiting these islands, you'll be watching this HD blu-ray again and again!

Yet another 5 Star Rating for this BBC Video!
