Summary:

"Geologic Journey II takes us to some of our planet's most dangerous and dynamic places, and helps explain how they got that way. From some of the highest mountaintops to the lowest salt plains, and from the center of violent volcanoes to the deep trenches beneath the ocean floor, Geologic Journey II travels with some of the world's most outstanding geologists as they decipher the mysteries of the earth's evolution. Combining stunning HD pictures and beautiful aerial photography, this series captures a world being torn apart by the very plates that connect it." --CBC Learning website.

"The glaciers of Alaska, the Canadian Rockies, the foothills of California, the Atacama Desert and the Andes of Chile; they're all part of the eastern Pacific Rim and characters in the ongoing tectonic sotry of our planet. It's a tale of the relentless subterranean forces that have convulsed our cities and overshadow our future. As Professor Nick Eyles of the University of Toronto, Scarborough guides us along this geologic frontline, we discover the inevitable geologic journey of the earth." --container
