With 150,000 miles of coastline, North America also has the longest and most abundant shores of any continent on Earth.
In the stunning seven-part series from Discovery Channel, renowned nature producer Huw Cordey travels from the Arctic to the Tropics, revealing the wonders of the most dynamic continent on Earth -- from the stunning glow of the Aura Borealis in Alaska to the thousands of tornadoes that batter the Great Plains each year to the 55-ton crystals in Mexico's Crystal Cave.

Chock-full of interesting facts about the various ecology and wildlife of the many regions of the continent -- Prairies, Coasts, Mountains, Freshwater, Deserts, and Forests -- North America exposes the continent as you've never seen it before.
