Superquark S15E08 · Episode 8

Overview

We continue our journey along the Ganges, the endless river that runs through India. The plains that were once fertile wilderness inhabited by tigers, lions and cheetahs have now become the most densely populated place on the planet. Thanks to the presence of the sacred river, this region has seen the birth of great civilizations and religions; but how have the plants and wild creatures of the plains adapted to survive in a world increasingly dominated by man? The Svalbard Islands, practically the last inhabited outpost before the Arctic ice pack, have become a large natural laboratory for the study of climate change and home to the coldest university in the world: UNIS, a prestigious university desired by the Norwegian government with the intention of making it a center of excellence for its education and research system. In the report by Andrea Pasquini.
