Wild Pyrenees - Season 1 Episode 3 -
Mountains of Light
When God created the Pyrenees, it is said that he shaped the rocks so they could drink in the light during the day. After sunset, they radiate it back into the world, and so the walls and pinnacles glow silently under the stars at night. The sun and clouds play with the light from the mountains, painting fascinating pictures. The Mediterranean climate transforms the alpine pastures into a sea of flowers and ensures an extremely diverse wildlife. In the Cirque de Gavarnie, an imposing rocky cirque on the French side, marmots raise their young. Bears roam the Catalan Aran Valley. Bearded vultures patrol vast territories in the mountain wilderness every day, searching for carrion. If they find a bone, they carry it to great heights and then drop it.
