Gigantic fjords and over 5,000 small islands: In Alaska's south there's a lot of wilderness and little civilization. The region between the capital Juneau and the Canadian border is also known by locals as the "Last Frontier", the last outpost. Michelle Masden, for example, has come to terms with the harsh conditions here. She is the only seaplane pilot in the region. She earns her living with her 65-year-old Beaver: as an air taxi, transport plane and now and then as a rescuer in last necessity. Michelle flies anything and everything: spare parts and food, doctors, hikers and hunters. For the fishermen of southern Alaska she searches for large shoals of fish and guides the captains to the next good catch. Ray Rusaw was a car mechanic by profession, but in his old age he was gripped by gold fever. With a self-built special raft and a highly creative selection of equipment from the DIY store, he sets off in search of the precious metal that his predecessors overlooked two centuries ago. For four years he has been happily obsessively combing through sandbanks and river courses. For Ray, the search for gold has little to do with luck and much to do with meticulous research. He is certain that he has found the perfect spot.

The Heart of Hawaii

The Heart of Hawaii

The Oahu island is the economic and cultural centre of the Hawaiian archipelago, as well as being a paradise for surfers, active holidaymakers and freedom lovers. The island is home to more than half of all natives and almost eight million foreign guests annually. Anyone searching for peace and seclusion won't find either in Honolulu or Waikiki. Traffic congestion and a backdrop of skyscrapers belong to the town panorama. Hip cafes, galleries and young fashion firms have settled here, adding a new and modern flair to the capital. Cindy's Lei Shoppe, the Chinatown florists, has been here for more than 30 years. This is also because the so-called Leis, the tradition of floral decoration, usually offered as a flower necklace or as a headdress, is still an important part of Hawaiian culture. Keone Nunes is well-known for his traditional tattooing skills, whereby the so-called Kakau Tattoos are virtually hammered into the skin with a hippo tooth. But Oahu is also an island of overwhelming natural beauty and a fascinating diversity on the smallest of places ...

Dramatically, the coast plunges into the sea, the so-called Costa of Peru is a gigantic desert on the Pacific Ocean, 2,400 kilometers long. Rugged, bizarre, like from another star. Ancient cultures settled here, the Moche and the Chimú. Later the proud Inca, the self-proclaimed royal people of the Andes, ruled. In the small town of Huanchaco in northern Peru, the fishermen build a new boat every month: from reed. The small ships are called Caballito de Totora (reed horses), because the shape is reminiscent of a horse and the fishermen ride in it kneeling in the waves. About 2,000 years ago, the moche used it to go out to sea. Carlos Segura Azola is a descendant of the moche. He is currently building a "reed horse" again. But actually something completely different occupies him. Carlos has been afraid of the sea ever since his father drowned at work. The fisherman consults a Brucha, a witch. She tries to drive him out of panic at the Pacific with mysterious ceremonies. At some point Carlos' reed boat is finished and he has to get out to his nets again. In the south, in the port city of Pisco, there are hardly any private cars. Mototaxis on three wheels are the means of transport here. Every moto looks different, because the young drivers compete with each other. They constantly pimp out their tricycles with spoilers, mirrors and all kinds of decorations. Because if you stand out in the traffic jam, you get the most passengers. But nowhere else in Peru is road traffic as dense and chaotic as in the capital Lima. That's why Juan Ortiz goes daily with his Delta glider over the coastal road into the air. He is the flying reporter and reports live for the traffic news. And he is not alone with his aircraft. Dozens of paragliders float along the cliffs of Lima at any time of the day. The Pacific provides a constant upwind on the up to 160 meter high cliffs. Somewhere in the labyrinth of the metropolis of millions hundreds of believers trot to the beat of the music of a Jesus statue on the cross. A procession for the "Lord of Miracles", the brass band intones church songs. The music student Bruno Alvarado drags and plays the largest instrument, a sousaphone. Every day there are dozens of processions in Lima. Practical for Bruno, he finances his studies with the musical accompaniment. Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, in the Paracas National Park, it is deserted. Luis Zapato runs a kiosk on a lonely beach amidst huge sand dunes. The kiosk has meanwhile developed into a gourmet temple, even the capital city dwellers flock here. Especially because of the scallops that Luis is the only licence holder to collect far and wide from the seabed. Inti Mar he called his beach snack, Inti is the sun god, Mar the sea. At Luis you literally eat like a sun god at the sea. This is only possible here, on the Inca coast.

Much more Caribbean than on the islands of St. Vincent and the Grenadines is hardly possible. Deserted beaches, uninhabited islands, lush vegetation, the 33 islands in total are dreamlike with extremely hospitable inhabitants. Miranda Phillips runs a laundry and water boat on Bequia. Every morning, the 32-year-old navigates from yacht to yacht with her small bright green service vehicle and is already expected by most skippers. Miranda promises radiantly fresh laundry, which she delivers again the same day. And so there is always something going on in her tiny laundrette in the harbour. It turns into a karaoke bar in the evening, because that is Miranda's great passion. Eban Olliver has many jobs at once. He is the lighthouse keeper of Kingstown. And that means a lot of responsibility in St. Vincent's biggest port city. Because Eban doesn't just change the light bulbs, he's a pilot dispatcher, harbour master and guard all in one person. First contact with ships is particularly important. Once he even saved the entire nation from an Ebola virus.

Even anyone who has not yet been to Cuba can conjure up certain images of American vintage street cruisers, imposing buildings that have seen better days, white sandy beaches full of palms and loving couples on the Malecón against a backdrop of crashing waves. This island is somewhat of a myth and its people generate a special joie de vivre. The legendary Hershey Train departs for Matanzas from the capital, Havana. On the oldest electrified railway line in the Caribbean, 60-year-old Spanish carriages make their way along al-most 100 kilometres of coastline in the most relaxed way possible. The Salvavidas on Varadero, probably the most famous beach on the island, have a particular-ly beautiful workplace. The lifeguards' territory ex-tends for more than 20 kilometres. In order to protect the coasts of Cuba, mangroves have been replanted here for many years. The project is supported by the UN and planting is often carried out by schoolchildren. In doing so, Cuban children learn how to treat their maritime habitat in a sustainable fashion. The former colonial city of Trinidad on Cuba's south coast is gen-erally considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the entire Caribbean. The houses here are particular-ly colourful. A plethora of magnificent buildings can be seen at the Plaza Mayor, the neo-baroque main square.

Caribbean sisters: The Lesser Antilles St. Kitts & Nevis

Caribbean sisters: The Lesser Antilles St. Kitts & Nevis

In the centre of the Caribbean, volcanoes rise steeply from the sea, thus shaping the sister islands of St. Kitts & Nevis. Their slopes, covered in lush rainforests, snow-white, sandy beaches and the surrounding tur-quoise tinted waters provide the ultimate setting for this record-breaking, albeit tiny island paradise: Both islets are the smallest of the Caribbean dwarf states and also rank among the world's ten smallest states. A hot pepper sauce, made of a creative mixture of ginger, garlic, thyme and extraordinarily hot chillies that thrive in the hot and humid climate of Nevis, is simmering on the stove of Violet and Llewellyn's house. Lemmy Pemberton digs up abandoned turtle nests with his bare hands, as he wants to be certain that all of the babies have indeed managed to make it. Members of the Turtle Group catch sea turtles in order to take their measurements and fit them with transmitters. Taxi bus-es are not only the main means of transport on St. Kitts & Nevis, they are also an artistic expression of each driver's personality. Colourfully embellished, each taxi represents island art on wheels.

Curacao is one of the most popular attractions for countless cruise ships on their trips through the Caribbean, because it is located outside of the hurricane belt. This is why Eric Miguel is constantly in action. He is the bridge keeper of the Queen Emma Bridge, the landmark of Curacao's capital, Willemstad. After his shift, Eric goes to Yvonne Troeman's cook-shop. Her speciality is Kadushi, a cactus soup. The ingredients include cactus flesh, pigtail's, mussels and a few secret "treats". Barbara van Bebber is the only submarine pilot on Curacao and literally gets to the bottom of things amidst the turquoise-blue wonder of the Caribbean. She charters out her sub to marine biologists and wealthy private explorers, simultaneously cleaning up on the seabed. Her "Curasub" has claw arms, which she employs to remove anything that doesn't belong down there: beer bottles, car tyres, and plastic refuse. Jeroen Eikelenboom simply carts sand from a neighbouring cove to his own surf club in his favourite bay.

The island of Martinique is a piece of France in the Caribbean, between Florida and South America. And of course, Savoir-vivre applies just as it does on the other side of the Atlantic, between the English Channel and the Mediterranean. Jacky Pascault is the first and only man to cultivate mushrooms in the Caribbean. Everywhere else, they grow on artificially fertilised soil, but Jacky's Champignons Tropicaux flourish on sugar cane fibres. Nicole Vilo tailors hats and dresses out of coconut palms. Of course, the catwalk for the models wearing her first collection is one of the countless dream beaches. The Martiniquais sail on boats they call Yole, which have no keel and are therefore difficult to navigate. The crew members hang over the water in breakneck fashion on long wooden poles. Just the job for Yole-boss Max' "problem kids": they not only learn complicated handling, but also team spirit.

In Newfoundland, at the easternmost tip of North America, the landscape is pristine, dramatic, and very sparsely populated. In summer, icebergs occasionally drift along the steep cliffs. When the "Titanic" collided with an iceberg and sank just 300 miles off the coast of Newfoundland in 1912, the last radio messages were picked up in a small wooden hut on the Avalon Peninsula. Today, most Newfoundlanders live on Avalon. There are particularly many seabirds here. In Witless Bay, the newborn puffins are ready for their first descent into the Atlantic. But some stray onto the coastal road, attracted by the lights of the hotels and restaurants. In doing so, they run the risk of being run over. A team of volunteers saves the lives of countless young birds: The Puffin & Petrel Patrol goes out at night dressed in high-visibility vests to collect the puffins. Biologist Sabrina Wilhelm then brings them back to Green Island, home to the largest puffin colony in North America. Here, the birds catch up on what they should have done long ago: the first dive of their lives.

King of the Seas

The times where eagles have been seen as varmints are over. They are now perceived as an integral part of the food cycle. Due to the fact that the habitats of the sea eagles in Germany are largely found in the north-eastern regions that are rich in water, the movie accompanies the eagles to an island, home to hundreds of sea ravens, where they rob the baby sea ravens of their food. They seem to always profit from the successes of the fellow creatures in their habitats. This film introduces you to the expert poachers of the animal kingdom.

The Secret of Migrating Birds

The Secret of Migrating Birds

Each year in spring, Israel witnesses a unique spectacle. Many millions of migrating birds cross the land bridge between Africa, Asia and Europe.Their first major roosting place after an exhausting nonstop flight over the African deserts is in southern Israel – a vital stopover. Here they replenish their energy reserves. The flocks of migrating birds are pursued by flocks of ornithologists. Hundreds of birders flood into the port city of Eilat on the Red Sea to take part in the Migration Festival. For a week, Israel's southernmost coastal resort is home to international scientists and amateur birders.
