Super Natural: How Life Thrives in Impossible Places

From the freezing deserts of Antarctica to the highest peaks of the Himalayas and the furthest known depths of our oceans, and from turtles who only draw breath twice a year to the fungi feeding off nuclear waste in Chernobyl, Super Natural explores eight habitats where, by definition, life shouldn't be possible, and introduces us to the myriad lifeforms that not only exist but also thrive there.

Overturning our assumptions about nature and how our planet has evolved over billions of years, and opening up the possibilities of non-carbon based life forms, Alex Riley shows us that, amid massive climate change and geological uncertainty, life is resilient, adaptable and always will find a way.
