Uper Italy – a place of longing: "This is a place of incomparable magic", already the writer Alexandre Dumas raved about the Upper Italian Lakes. And how right he was: there was still eternal ice around 15,000 years ago, where today an extremely mild climate prevails, with subtropical vegetation and the northernmost olive trees in Europe growing. Glaciers formed U-shaped, fjord-like valleys with impressive steep banks. This benefited the beauty of the region. Even in the well-known pearls such as Lago Maggiore, Lago di Como and Lago di Idro, there are still to be found secluded places full of lakeside romance. In between you come across aristocratic villas and lemon trees, Riva boats and surfing hotspots and of course plenty of Italian flair.

In the air, we follow the flight of the largest, fastest and most resilient birds, while in the seas, we encounter huge whales and fish – and it can all be recorded in numbers and statistics, yet the true achievements of the sea giants and why they don’t sink are easier to understand if we take a close look at the technical data for ships and submarines.

From high mountains to lowlands, from stormy seashores to idyllic garden landscapes, from vast grassy steppes to wildly proliferating rainforests: »The Living Planet« introduces the different landscape forms on Earth in all their facets. We visit as yet unspoiled regions, where nature manifests itself with the entire range of diversity, and where animals like okapis or forest elephants live, animals so unique they seem to have completely fallen out of the grid of evolution.

THE NORTH
Travelling in the Arctic is still an adventure. Journeys will take you into an icy, almost deserted and yet fascinatingly beautiful world. Over the summer, vast areas are bathed in the warm light of the midnight sun for almost 24 hours a day; at the North Pole, the sun does not disappear beyond the horizon for half a year. In the polar regions, like Greenland and Spitsbergen, icebergs and rugged fjords, boat trips, sailing tours or hikes in untouched nature and dog sleigh rides in winter inspire everyone who makes the trip.
