The Summer of Adventure continues! Nature's Great Race follows epic mass migrations across the vast landscapes of the Arctic and southern and eastern Africa. On July 12, elephants traverse Kenya. Caribou take on the Canadian and Alaskan tundra July 19. And zebra travel the floodplains of Botswana on July 26. The journeys of these majestic animals are captured in vivid cinematography – catch a glimpse of the engrossing images here with some preview photography.
