Humans like to think that once they've climbed a peak, they've somehow conquered it. But they can only ever be visitors to this hostile world. Planet Earth introduces the 'real' mountaineers and discovers the secrets of their survival on the mightiest peaks of our planet. Welcome to an extreme landscape of rock, ice and snow; a vertical world as alien to humans as the surface of another planet. Planet Earth takes you on a tour of its mightiest mountain ranges, starting with the birth of a mountain at one of the lowest places on Earth and ending at the summit of Everest. Mountains are home to some of the shyest and most secretive animals on the planet, and this program will show how they rise to the challenge of mountain life. (Synopsis from the BBC web site. Finalist, Limited Series, Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival, 2007.)
