The Amazon amasses one-fifth of Earth’s freshwater as it flows east from the Andes to the Atlantic. Boiling streams, crystal clear lagoons, pink river dolphins and a strange new reef are some of its many secret and extreme worlds.
Every year the Amazon floods with the greatest annual flood on earth, transforming the landscape around it. Drone technology was used to reveal the transition from low to high water when sections of the river can rise by 30 feet.
Pink River Dolphins, known locally as “botos" are the largest species of river dolphin in the world and are some of the most specialized and strange of all Dolphins, with flexible necks and whiskers on their beaks.
