Airdate: Patagonia

A new natural history series deep dives into one of the last untouched places on earth, Patagonia in South America.

Narrated by Chilean-born actor Pedro Pascal.

Series One, Episode One: The Desert Coast
A journey along Patagonia’s Atlantic coast where the land may be barren, but the sea is rich with life. Wild and unforgiving, here animals and people survive against the odds. Here, we witness one of the most extraordinary hunting techniques in the world as a family of killer whales launches themselves onto the beach to catch sea lions. We meet the man who has helped save a colony of penguins, the shark hunter turned shark saviour, and the shellfish diver who swims with whales. Far out at sea, a huge fleet of fishing boats lure squid up from the deep under the vigilant eye of the Argentinian Coastguard. Back on shore, huge male elephant seals battle for the chance to breed while more than 70,000 parrots dodge the fastest creature on Earth – the peregrine falcon.
