Wild Italy Part 3: Islands of Wind & Fire | Nature Documentary

Watch 'Wild Italy Part 1' here:    • Wild Italy | Part 1: Volcanic Waters ...  

In this episode:
Most of the most beautiful Mediterranean islands have a volcanic origin. Among them, there are the Aeolian Islands, the islands of wind and fire north of Sicily. The film shows the striking contrast between the harsh volcanic rocks and the abundance of wildlife: Cory’s shearwaters, storm petrels, and Eleonora’s falcon breed on the cliffs, while giant sperm whales and schools of pilot whales swim in the deep and still unexplored sea which surrounds the islands.
The film deals also with the interesting terrestrial community of lizards, insects, spiders that has colonized the most remote islands and has adapted to very local environmental conditions.

A million years ago, Italy was a battlefield where enormous, violent volcanoes raised mountains and erased valleys, in a world with no room for plants or animals. Then, a hundred thousand years ago, the craters turned into lakes and wildlife conquered the volcanic waters: from spectacled salamanders living in the lakes to the giant sperm whale swimming in the sea that surrounds the islands, skies dwelled by golden eagles hunting at the top of the volcano and Eleonora’s falcons living on the cliffs.
