Human Planet - Deserts: Life in the Furnace




Today on Far Future Horizons we present the second episode of a breathtaking documentary series titled the Human Planet that explores how humans have learned to adapt to life in desert environments.

Human Planet is an eight part British television documentary series produced by the BBC with co-production from Discovery and BBC Worldwide.

We can survive for weeks without food, but only days without water: it is the essential element of life. Yet many millions of us live in parched deserts around the world. In the second episode of Human Planet, we discover how the eternal quest for water brings huge challenges – and ingenious solutions – in the driest places on Earth.
