Cal your a dumba$$
Fearless Planet only recently premiered on the Discovery Channel, so the DVD set won’t be ready for a few months.
Please tell me how I can order the Fearless Planet DVD set.
Why the reluctance to issue information about DVDs of “Fearless Planet”?
Who, what, when, where, how, and why — and how much? Do tell us. People do not like secrets. If the rest of the series is as good as the beginning, it is time to let us see it for ourselves and when we are best able to do so. In other words, DVDs!
You scum will be expose for the Goebbels propagandist you are. I sit in front of my TV, tuned into Fearless Planet, very excite about the episode on the Sahara, only to get mind f***ked in the end. The whole show is a scam to convince us moron peasants that global warming is the root of all evil. This same idiot show indicated the planet itself as the most evil influence on “nature” yet now “mans” minimal existence and very minor influence has become the great satan of all things against the Sahara. I wanted to watch a show on the history of the fascinating Sahara only to be manipulated into some pricks political agenda. I want to decision maker for this series to be exposed and fired.

As a commercial Alaska bush pilot since 1975, I was disappointed in some aspects of the Alaska segment of “Fearless Planet.” In my opinion the scripted narration dramatically over-emphasized the danger involved in the various escapades shown, especially the flying sequence on Mt. McKinley.
The explanation of how glaciers are formed was inaccurate. The narration would lead the viewer to think that snow falling along the whole length of the glacier is eventually covered with more snow and compressed into ice. Glacier ice is formed up high where the snow does not melt in the summers as fast as it accumulates in the winters. It is at these upper levels that snow is compressed into ice over many winters. The blue ice that can be seen at the bottom (terminus) of a glacier, was formed up high and has flowed down the the glacial valley over a long period of time. One factoid that you missed was that the glacial ice at the top of the Ruth Glacier is 7500 feet deep. I think the narrator mentioned that some glacial ice is 1300 or 1500 feet deep. The Knik Glacier mentioned toward the end of the hour is pronounced “Kiník,” not Nik.
Mt. Augustine is so far away from any human settlements, that it can hardly be called dangerous. Far more dangerous are the two volcanoes closer to Anchorage, Mt. Spurr and Mt. Redoubt. As for Mt.Augustine having the most recently formed land on the planet,…I guess that must be additional artistic license on the part of the producers and writers. Hawaii Island has the most recently formed land along with some volcanoes in the Philippines and other South Pacific locations. The Augustine segment appeared to be more of a vehicle for presenting the skier than it did anything else.
I appreciated the global warming and northern lights segments toward the end. They felt genuine and not excessively hyped like the adventure sequences were.
Your series on the Alaska crab fisheries was deservedly dramatic. The “Fearless Planet” segment on Alaska, seemed contrived with a strange mix of geological information tenuously conjoined with a few overly dramatized stunts.
Nevertheless, it was entertaining.

I’ve never been so impressed with a television series as I have the Plant Earth and now the Fealress Planet series. The entire production is a DVD set each and every family should have in their collection or for those who cannot afford the cost, their local public library either has it, or would order it for anyone who would make a request.
Thanks for this, absolutely “Awesome” series.
I was up for the encore of Planet Earth. It’s an excellent series. I got lost after the first 10 minutes of fearless planet
I love the “Planet Earth” series. “Fearless Planet” is a sports-adventure show, not a science show. Tune in if you like to sit in your La-Z-Boy watching a guy surf, bicycle, paraglide, scuba dive, and climb. You will get 30 seconds worth of geology information packed into a one-hour show.
