beautiful nature scenery (1080p HD)

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010


Great scenery from ”Planet Earth” series, episode ”Mountains”. There were questions, which mountains are shown in the footage, so here they are (not necesarily in order): – The Andes, world’s longest continental mountain range. It’s a continual range of highlands along the western coast of South America (that is Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela). – Erta Ale, the longest continually erupting volcano in Ethiopia. – The Alps, one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east; through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany; to France in the west. – The Rocky Mountains, a major mountain range in western North America, that stretch more than 3000 miles (4830 km) from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico, in the southwestern United States. – Himalayas, a mountain range in Asia, separating the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. Together, the Himalayan mountain system is the planet’s highest, and home to the world’s highest peaks, the Eight-thousanders, which include Mount Everest and K2 (as seen in the footage). – Baltoro (in Pakistan), the Earth’s biggest mountain glacier, which is 70 kilometres long and visible from space. Quality of the video: 1080p HD (H.264 AVC).
