Patagonia - a mysterious and intangible place at the southern tip of South America, stretching across Chile and Argentina, made up of strange landscapes, huge mountain ranges and windswept plains. This series brings this little-known region and its surprising wildlife to the screens. It reveals how life survives and flourishes in these environments, like the ducklings that fling themselves into glacial melt waters on the first day of life to the condors who must master the wild winds. It also discovers how humans interact with this wild environment meeting the Gauchos, Patagonia's cowboys and visiting the state-of-the-art wind farms that are harnessing the power of the open plains. It is a fascinating series that reveals Patagonia as a lawless, powerful and demanding land - but shows how for those who know how, it is a paradise where the odds are in their favour.
