— DISC A
ISLAND FIRST LIGHT: Witness sunrise over the highest vantage point
along the North Atlantic seaboard, Cadillac Mountain of Maine’s Acadia
National Park.
THE GREAT BARRIER REEF: Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is the largest
coral reef ecosystem in the world - an underwater kingdom of living corals,
fish, algae and seaweeds. Day begins along a pristine shoreline of white
sands.
— DISC B
SOCIETY ISLAND SUNRISE: Halfway between California and Australia lie
long curling strings of island chains, the five archipelagos of French
Polynesia. As day brightens, terns dip the waves, chasing fish to feed
their young. On a white crushed-coral beach, hermit crabs emerge.
PLAYA GRANDE MOONSET: Once a month, as the sun rises over the beach,
the full moon dips into the waves of the pacific in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
Creatures of the beach begin to stir. Pelicans glide in formation. The
soothingly eternal waves await the next full moon.
— DISC C
MEDITERRANEAN PORT: It’s daybreak on the turquoise coast, tucked
somewhere within the folds of Turkey’s 2,500 mile coastline. A light
flashes green over a quiet sea. Fishermen prepare their small boats, hoping
for a good day’s catch of tuna, sardines, shrimp and squid.
ARGENTINE SEAL PUPS: Day breaks in a slice of red over the Southern
Atlantic Ocean and a colony of southern elephant seals and its new pups.
Thus begins the month of suckling she will give her child. Gulls wheel
overhead, drawn to this period of birthing.
— DISC D
SUNRISE SEAL COLONY: Elephant seals crawl up the beach at California’s
Point Reyes National Seashore to soak up the first drops of daylight.
NINAGIAK ISLAND: An island beach awakes with a splash of brilliant
color in Ninagiak Island, Katmai National Park, over a hundred miles from
the nearest Alaskan town. Clouds flare on arctic terns swarming in aerial
acrobatics as horned and tufted puffins bob nearby.
