Water Worlds
Description
This program begins high in the mountains of Iceland and ends at the coral reefs of the Maldives in an exploration of aquatic biomes that includes mountain streams, wetlands and swamps, coral reefs, and deep ocean. Along the way, viewers discover South America's Pantanal, the world's greatest wetland, and the Sundarbans - an immense mangrove swamp at the mouth of the Ganges in Bangladesh. Finally, sailing far out into the deep ocean, the video explains how currents rescue nutrients from the seabed in a process known as ocean nutrient cycling.
