Lost Land of the Volcano. Wow! Just, wow!

Writing about web page http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00m82h7

For anyone who missed it earlier this week the BBC are now showing a series called "Lost Land of the Volcano" which shows the expedition of a team of scientists into a volcanic crater in the forests of Papua New Guinea.

They have discovered an incredible number of new species, including a giant rat, a tree-dwelling kangaroo and the smallest parrot known to man.

You can see part 1 on BBC iPlayer and part 2 will be shown on BBC1 next Tuesday at 9pm.
