If you get a chance, we definitely recommend checking out Planet Earth. Planet Earth is a new 11-part documentary series created by the BBC and shot entirely in HD.

Four years in the making, the world’s premier wildlife cameramen have travelled all over the planet, from the world’s greatest rivers and impressive gorges to the mightiest mountains – from the hidden underground world of caves and caverns to vast deserts – to bring viewers a new perspective on some of the planet’s most iconic habitats. Imagine the Gobi Desert covered in snow; the view from the top of Angel Falls. Planet Earth contains long powerful sequences that have never been filmed before, delivering revelation and wonder in every episode.

The CBC Newsworld site includes video clips here.
