We follow the cold, rich waters of the continent, from their genesis in the stormy southern oceans via the mighty Humboldt Current all the way to the Equator. In their journey, they transform one of the most inhospitable habitats on Earth into one of the richest marine eco-systems known, with the highest densities of seabirds ever seen. Sharing in the current's riches are penguins, killer whales, sea lions, fur seals, albatrosses, cormorants, pelicans, boobies and the world's only marine lizard – a series of wildlife spectacles that only South America can boast.
