The documentary depicts monarch butterflies’ great and mysterious migration. Each year’s autumn, millions of monarch butterflies start their incredible southward migration from Canada, cross America, to Mexico. They fly above 2,000 miles to arrive the mountain of Mexico ..... 　　The film opens with caterpillars munching milkweed in southern Canada in late summer. Soon each caterpillar transforms itself into a silky chrysalis. Roughly 10 days later, a delicate four-winged monarch emerges. 　　Then, at some unknown signal, the monarchs take to the air on a two-month, 2,000-mile flight over fields, forests, cities, plains, open water, deserts, and finally mountains to congregate in a tiny, high-altitude region of central Mexico where they've never been before. Incredibly, they arrive by the millions at the same time each year. 　　Shedding light on this natural wonder are some of the world's leading monarch researchers, including Lincoln Brower of Sweet Briar College, independent biologist Bill Calvert, and Orley "Chip" Taylor of the University of Kansas. 　　Putting the monarch phenomenon into perspective, Taylor says, "You've got a butterfly that's originating in Toronto, or it's originating in Detroit, Michigan, or it's coming down from St. Paul or maybe even Winnipeg, and it's moving south. Somehow it finds its way to Mexico. Could you do that?" 　　No one yet knows how the butterflies do it, but Taylor's research reveals that they are expert navigators. In one experiment, he transported Mexico-bound monarchs from Kansas to Washington, DC, and then set them loose. At first, they flew south as if they were still in Kansas—a course that from Washington would miss Mexico entirely. But after a few days, they corrected their flight path, as if some inborn GPS unit had alerted them to the true direction of their destination. 　　In another sequence, NOVA accompanies celebrated monarch watcher Bill Calvert around backcountry Texas as he looks for signs of the monarch migration. Sure enough, they show up en masse and on time, heading toward the Sierra Madre mountains across the border—the last leg of their flight. 　　And in the Mexican state of Michoacán, NOVA joins mountain villagers as they celebrate the arrival of the monarchs in the first week of November. The butterflies' arrival marks the start of a celebration called the Day of the Dead, since the local people have traditionally associated the monarchs with the returning souls of their departed ancestors. 　　Unfortunately, illegal logging in the Mexican butterfly sanctuaries threatens the unique habitat that monarchs depend on for their survival. Monarchs may not yet be an endangered species, but their annual migration is an endangered phenomenon that could dwindle to insignificance if the giant firs that they cling to during the winter disappear. 　　Gone also would be the colorful festival that closes the program—a fireworks display welcoming the hardy fliers to Mexico, with orange bursts against the black sky, looking almost like the beautiful cloaks of the monarchs..

摄影记者David Adams为追随伟大的旅行家马可波罗,将作一次世界终极旅行 　　阿富汗。世界上最古老信仰的发源地。一个近二十年来一直被血腥冲突锁定的地方。一个只有少数旅行者敢走的地方，而事实上，在没有冲突的时候，这里却是一个非常美丽的地方，并且，在炸弹和抵抗后面藏着一个巨大的宝藏…… 　　这是一次特别的旅行，我们将跟随着著名摄影记者大卫·亚当斯从一条被军队、走私犯和间谍践踏的道路进入阿富汗境内，进入遥远的Bamian山谷——这里隐藏着世界上不为人知的世界奇观：一些古老巨大的只有少数几个外国人见过的神奇佛像——巴米扬大佛。我们将赶在它们被彻底破坏之前到达，并对其作最后的致意。

这里是喜马拉雅山区，这里是地球上环境最极端的地方之一。尽管环境极端恶劣，几世纪以来，人们还是不断来到这里寻找——香格里拉——一个源自詹姆士·希称顿写于20世纪30年代 的畅销小说《失去的地平线》里的神秘世界，一个隐藏在喜马拉雅山脉某处科平、融洽的乌托邦。 　　而事实是，在喜马拉雅山和巴基斯坦北部接壤处巍峨的山蜂下，的确有一些至今尚未接触过现代文明的河谷。在这个世界里，超自然力量和古老神秘的仪式主宰着人们的日常生活。其中一个河谷尤其吸引了人们的想象。这里太完美，太祥和，所有在这里生活的人都能健康、长寿，受到启示并从而得到幸福。 　　为了找到这个地方，我们将跟随著名摄影记者大卫·亚当斯的步伐，从巴基斯坦北部开始，翻过崎岖的山峰，越过零下20度的冰川和雪地，找寻香格里拉背后的真相…… 　　摄影记者David Adams为追随伟大的旅行家马可波罗,将作一次世界终极旅行

这里是柬埔寨，这片神秘的土地上到处都是浓密的丛从和令人惊讶的失落的遗迹。 　　本辑中，我们将与著名摄影记者大卫·亚当斯一首，从泰国边境出来，穿过柬埔寨的大湖——洞里萨湖，向北进入荒无人烟之地，之后沿湄公河向南到首都金边，最后到深入南柬埔寨Cerdamom山的丛林腹地——这片与世隔绝30多年的原始雨林是南亚最后的原始地带之一，大部分时候这里都是红色高棉的据点。在那里致命的地雷依然存在，而红色高棉的士兵仍然在偏僻的丛林里巡逻。 　　我们将努力探索；这样一个安宁的国家，如何成为了杀人的刑场？ 　　摄影记者David Adams为追随伟大的旅行家马可波罗,将作一次世界终极旅行
