Shot in stunning HD, Geologic Journey II will change the way you look at the world. In each episode, we dive straight into the Earth’s mysterious geologic processes and explore both science and legend as we seek to understand and explain the geologic forces that shape our world, and our lives. With Prof. Nick Eyles of the University of Toronto Scarborough as our guide, this five-part documentary series reveals the Earth’s magnificent power and its breathtaking beauty.
