At the southern end of South America, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are within reach of each other. In the southern spring, the Valdez Peninsula, the coastal desert of Patagonia’s Atlantic shore, is a paradise for sea animals, and in this program we observe Magellanic penguins, right whales and orcas, elephant seals and sea lions. On the Pacific shore, we observe the interrelationship between sea lions, pelagic birds, and the creatures that inhabit the ecologically transitional stage between life on land and under water. An RTVE production. (28 minutes)
