Planeta Ziemia Odcinek 5: Deserts

Around thirty percent of the land's surface is desert. United by their lack of rain, they are home to some of our planet's most varied ecosystems. In the Gobi Desert, rare Bactrian camels get moisture from the snow, while in Chile the Atacama guanacos survive by licking dew off cactus spines. Saharan sandstorms reach nearly a mile high and desert rivers run for a single day. The brief blooming of Death Valley triggers a plague of locusts 160km long, and a unique aerial voyage over the Namibian desert reveals elephants on a long trek for food and desert lions searching for wandering oryx.
