Superquark - Season 22 Episode 1
The first episode of SuperQuark opens with a stunning documentary: the Alps as seen from above, the way only an eagle could view them. Thanks to an ultra-high-definition camera mounted on a helicopter, we get the sensation of soaring over the peaks, brushing past summits, and observing, from an entirely new perspective, dizzying cliff faces, glaciers, and crystal-clear lakes. We also see castles, trenches from the First World War, and daring skiers descending near-vertical mountain slopes amidst snow and rock. We get a close-up look at the great icons of the Alpine ranges, such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, as well as ibexes and mountain climbers. It is a natural world that was once inaccessible, now revealing its full, imposing beauty, along with, as we shall see, the challenges it faces. In recent weeks, the centenary of the Great War has been commemorated, a conflict fought in trenches, in mud, and in blood.
