Sunrise Earth International

Filmed across the world in Asia, Europe, North America and South America, Sunrise Earth features wide-open spaces at sunrise. Without narration, music, story line or host, there is only only the Zen-like sounds of the birds, water and wildlife.

Episodes

S1 | E1

Katmai Bears

After seven months of sleep, the world's largest population of unhunted brown bears welcome the sunrise in Katmai National Park, Alaska. They begin the morning in the meadow, playfully mating and grazing on the high protein tidal sedge grass.
S1 | E2

Volcano Lagoon

A tidal lagoon flushes its night load of water under the shadow of the Alaska's Augustine volcano, a perfect cone that last erupted in 1986. This is a land where the earth quakes an average of once every 30 sunrises.
S1 | E3

Homer Takeoff

It is a few days after summer solstice, and the red-necked grebes tend their nest in Beluga Lake in Homer, Alaska. Ground fog drifts past the swimming birds, which are rarely airborne. As the sun appears, the fog lifts.
S1 | E7

Glacier of Kenai Fjords

In the dawn hours along the snout of Kenai Fjords National Park's largest tidewater glacier, blue cracks of ice flow toward the sea. Broken icebergs dot the jet-black beach and long-trapped air bursts free as gulls scatter and meltwater rivers form.
S2 | E1

Yellowstone Geysers

The geysers of Yellowstone National Park welcome the sunrise with steam, shooting water and a morning lightning storm.
S2 | E2

Yosemite Dawn

The dramatic waterfalls, rounded domes and massive monoliths in Yosemite National Park provide the perfect backdrop for the dawning of a new day. And the sound of running water and birdsong creates the perfect soundtrack.
S2 | E3

Everglades HD

A submerged camera captures dawn from under the surface of a wide river flowing beneath a savannah-like prairie in Everglades National Park. Insects traverse the razor sharp strands of grass as the weather changes.
S2 | E4

Island First Light

The sun rises over Cadillac Mountain of Maine's Acadia National Park, the highest vantage point along the North Atlantic seaboard. During certain times of year, the summit receives the very first rays of the rising sun in the United States.
