Wild Patagonia: Peaks, Glaciers & Pumas

Join us on a virtual journey though the sweeping landscapes of Patagonia, in the southernmost reaches of Chile and Argentina. This video gives you a taste of Patagonia's massive glaciers, shimmering lakes, and mountain enclaves, home to an array of unique wildlife.

Journey into the dramatic heart of Argentine Patagonia, where vast ice fields, soaring peaks and powerful winds shape one of the world’s most spectacular protected landscapes. Expedition Leader Daniel Hagaman explores Los Glaciares National Park, from the Southern Patagonian Icefield and its immense glaciers to the steppe and subpolar forests that support pumas, guanacos and Andean condors. Learn how climate, geology and conservation intersect in this dynamic region—and what Patagonia can teach us about protecting wild places worldwide.

From the blazing maples of Maine to Alaska’s crimson tundra and Patagonia’s golden hills, autumn transforms the Americas into a living canvas. Expedition Leader Arthur Kampmann explains the science behind fall’s colorful foliage and how wildlife responds to the season’s cues. Learn what triggers bears to enter hyperphagia to prepare for winter, moose to begin their rut, and migratory birds to move south, and discover the best times and places to witness nature’s grand seasonal transformation, including on Nat Hab’s fall adventures.

You've likely heard about the effect reintroducing wolves into Yellowstone has had on elk populations and on the ecosystem as a whole. But what about other predator-prey relationships? Brooke Mitchell talks with wildlife biologist Jack Rabe about the impact of cougars on America's first national park. Learn about the biology of these elusive felines—also called mountain lions or pumas—and how they interact with other predators, and discover some of the conservation challenges surrounding them.
