Geologic Journey

Take a sweeping tour of the vast, wild beauty of Canada. A groundbreaking five-part television documentary series – “Geologic Journey” - breathes relevance into ancient geology and traces the extraordinary history of our continent to show that the new world is in fact very, very old.

This groundbreaking series combines state-of-the-art high definition filmmaking with spectacular aerial photography to document the incredible and sometimes surprising history of Canada's landmass.

2. The Rockies. An ever-changing landmass, geologists are learning how the Rockies were formed and discovering what they will become.
3. The Canadian Shield. The largest - and one of the oldest - expanses of ancient rock on the planet has riches of gold and diamonds under it's crust.
4. The Appalachians. These fabled mountains contain a geologic puzzle, a rich legacy, and the scarcely known threat of earthquakes.
