Impossible Planet
Program Details
Discovering Earth’s most incredible natural phenomena.
Our planet generates an incredible amount of extraordinary phenomenon. A lot of these wonders can be reasonably explained but others baffle even the most experienced scientists.
Impossible Planet takes viewers on a journey around the globe to discover just how strange and unaccounted for our world can be. From luminescent, electric-blue waves crashing ashore to mysterious fairy circles as far as the eye can see, the series explores some of Earth’s most incredible natural phenomena.
Featured Locations:
Northern Ireland
The Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland’s UNESCO world heritage site, is a spectacular 60-million-year-old geological formation. The incredible pattern is the result of lava crystalizing into rock under certain conditions of cooling.
Western Australia
Middle Island off the Southern coast of Western Australia is home to the striking bubblegum-pink Lake Hillier. But why is it pink?
