By piecing together the evidence these creatures left behind, we can build a picture of this sub-tropical corner of the continent as it was 13,000 years ago. While most of North America was still in the grip of the Big Freeze, Florida was an ice age

Ok. You should keep following a river like this downstream. It will lead to a bigger river, then the coast. Walking has always been a big part of Aboriginal culture. And for them, its about experiencing the landscape and learning to live with nature.

Finding your way across this vast landscape is difficult with so few landmarks to help. The native Australians have their own unique method of navigation. One of the reasons that Aborigines are, in many ways, the ultimate survivors in the outback is

There is an Ireland shrouded in clich, of heroes and villains, lost battles and sad songs. Perched on the margins of Europe, a claustrophobic island cut off from the world, its people turned in upon themselves, victims of their own ancient hatreds an

And this is the great settlement of Clonmacnoise. As you sweep around this turn in the river Shannon, you get the round towers, the churches and everything. You get the first idea that this is a really substantial monastic foundation. How did we arri

Musk oxen and arctic hares are well-insulated against the cold as are the largest grazers of them all, the woolly mammoths. This herd is regrouping, ready for a long day feeding on the grasses beneath the snow. Mothers need to keep milk flowing for t

Even the mastodon is buried here, a long dead relative of modern elephants. This was once a bear, but not like any bear in North America today. Claw marks gouged into the cave wall showed the bear was not killed direct by the fall. It made a desperat

The site was once a spring-fed pond, full of water. Mammoths were tempted in to drink. But when they tried to climb back out, the banks were steep and slippery. Just like the short-faced bear imprisoned underground, some became trapped. Scavengers wo

An asteroid strike would create a huge explosion. NASA feared this might even be mistaken for a nuclear bomb. We wanted folks to know this was a natural event by Mother Nature rather than some sort of man-made event like a missile or something dreadf

Comparing the effects of an airburst with a ground strike, it seems the Chelyabinsk got away lightly. Its estimated that the largest piece to hit the ground weighed 500 kilos, a fraction of the asteroids original mass of 7,000 tonnes. Now if a piece
