About
"New Zealand : the rose and the dragon: Two thousand miles along, bathed by subtropical waters at its north and sub-antarctic waters at its south, New Zealand beckons the Calypso to explore. From coastal sea grottoes to the dark waters of fjords, a rich array of marine life, including argonauts, octopi, Medusa jellyfish, and feathery black coral, astonish the eye. On land, steaming geysers and bubbling mud pots attest to new Zealand's reputation as a geothermal wonderland -- and flightless kiwis, once threatened, now inhabit protected land. Anthony Hopkins narrates. New Zealand : the heron of the single flight: New Zealand is a land rich in forests and fjords, mists and mystery. But commerce imperils much of the nations beauty and resources. The Cousteau team witness old-growth forests stripped for timber wealth, hovers in a helicopter over dark waters where Japanese ships vacuum the sea of squid, and films the astonishing elephantfish, netted to be half of fish and chips. The native Maori culture suggests a different path: a reverence for everything living"--Container.
