... a fasciating insight into our planet from an orbital satellite circumnavigating the globe at an altitude of 250 miles above the Earth's atmosphere.Showing the various changes that occur on its surface - including volcanic eruptions in Iceland pushing out the frontiers of the Atlantic Ocean, the furies unleashed by violent 100-mile wide tropical storms responsible for reshaping continents
and, not least, the ongoing formation of Desert

of 12 metres in Bangladesh - the programme turned out to be well-worth watching.
