Down Under, just a few nights after the November full moon - when water temperature and tides are just right - one of nature's most extraordinary events explodes into life. Thousands of coral join in an elaborate mating ritual, a synchronized dance of naturally occurring phenomena that help increase the coral's odds of survival. Journey through more than 1,200 miles of Australia's treasured Great Barrier Reef to discover the secrets of the unique marine life that inhabit this dazzling spectacle, considered to be the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms and declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

A whale calf – a humpback whale. She's boisterous, almost carefree. Yet she's been in constant danger from the moment she was born. This is her story, the story of the first year of her life. We follow mother and calf on their perilous journey from the volcanic islands of Hawaii to the majestic icebergs and glaciers of Alaska – a journey from fire to ice.
