The Angry Planet team hopes to film the natural wonders and extreme phenomena of this fascinating Central Asian country, including a spectacularly burning crater of natural gas, underground lakes, sandstorms and remnants of the dinosaurs.
In 2000, a remarkable find was made in Chihuahua, Mexico, of a spectacular cave filled with giant crystals, some over 20 meters long. But it is a intensely difficult spot to explore with temperatures over 50 degrees C and humidity well over 100%. George leads an Explorers Club Flag Expedition into the cave, wearing special refrigerated suits and respirators to battle the extreme environment.
We break the bounds of earth, and look at the environment of space. We examine the difficulties and challenges of exploring this most challenging environment. George experiences some of the extreme training needed for space travel aboard a Czech-built Albatross fighter jet, the Zero-G plane, and a centrifuge producing 6 Gs of force, and witnesses the launch of a flight to the International Space Station.
George links up with two experienced polar adventurers to explore the frigid Canadian arctic in the depths of winter. The team first uses skis to cross the fractured sea ice of Frobisher Bay, then dog teams to head north through the spectacular Auyuittuq Mountains.
No-one creates eco-disasters on quite the scale of the former Soviet Union. In Uzbekistan, the Aral Sea, once one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, has seen its waters diverted, so that it has shrunk to 1/6 its previous size. In Crimea, a mountain has been carved into a james bondian submarine base. In northern Ukraine, the Chernobyl nuclear site has been reduced to a radioactive wasteland.
Early September of 2008 saw radical imagery on the hurricane maps of the Atlantic four named tropical storms, swirling in a train across the ocean. Angry Planet was there as three of them made landfall as hurricanes in the US. We filmed gustaf in Louisiana, Hanna in North Carolina, then flew with the USAF Hurricane Hunters into Ike over cuba, and met it again as it made a wild destructive landfall in Galveston, Texas.
