"South America is a continent of violent extremes, dominated by the world's longest, most spectacular, mountain chain, the Andes. It holds the world's driest desert, most massive water system, highest navigable lake. . . . It is a land of ice and fire, where a glacier thundering into the ocean is surrounded by tropical forest alive with humming-birds. It takes courage, persistence and inspiration to capture on film this vast kaleidoscope of raw Nature. Michael Andrews resolved for the BBC TV Natural History Unit to do just this, meeting the challenge of the continent of superlatives by making the most comprehensive and wide-ranging filmic exploration of the Andes to date.

He also gives us the human drama behind an expedition of this kind, making The Flight of the Condor an exciting adventure story.".…
