【Content Summary】 The East African Great Rift Valley stretches three thousand miles from the Red Sea to the mouth of the Zambezi, visible even from space. It is a vibrant place with erupting volcanoes, forest-covered mountains, beautiful canyons, vast grasslands, massive lakes, and rivers, serving as a home to crocodiles, hippos, lions, elephants, flocks of flamingos, and various indigenous peoples. The BBC employs the latest high-definition filming techniques to explore the geological forces that shaped the East African Great Rift and showcase one of the most wildlife-rich landscapes in the world. Part 1: Fire The valley is the result of deep-seated geological forces that have unleashed a line of cloud-crowned volcanoes stretching from Ethiopia to Tanzania. Their peaks offer refuge to some of East Africa's most extraordinary wildlife, including newly discovered and previously unfilmed species that have developed surprising survival strategies to thrive in their challenging mountainous environment. Part 2: Water The Great Rift Valley channels a vast diversity of waterways - rivers, lakes, waterfalls, caustic springs, and coral seas - extending from Egypt to Mozambique. Some depths of lakes and oceans harbor previously unseen life forms, while caustic waters push the limits of life. However, where volcanic minerals enrich the Great Rift's waterways, they support the most spectacular concentrations of birds, mammals, and fish in all of Africa. Part 3: Grass The Great Rift Valley sets the stage for an epic struggle between trees and grass, influenced by volcanic eruptions, landscapes, and rainfall. The outcome determines the fate of Africa's great game herds. In the Rift's savannas, grazers and their predators engage in a battle of wits, leading one group of primates to develop a social system that laid the groundwork for the evolution of mankind.
