In Breathing in the Mountains: How High Altitude Affects Our Bodies, host Harith Iskander explains why the air feels thinner in high-altitude locations and how our bodies adapt to less oxygen. At high altitudes, the lower oxygen levels can make people feel breathless, but the body responds by adjusting its red blood cells to carry more oxygen. This change in the respiratory system helps people acclimate over time to the challenges of mountain environments. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Got Science?, a science magazine series that explores and explains science in everyday life.
In The World’s Deserts: Heating Up, narrator Sir David Attenborough explains how Earth’s hottest temperatures have all been recorded in its deserts. The deserts are getting hotter more quickly than the global average. The shovel-snouted lizard adapts to the extreme heat by alternately lifting its feet from the hot ground, performing a kind of dance. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth II, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
