There are many things that make this particular episode so much better than the rest. It starts with more of a geographical/geological focus than the usual biological emphasis of the series. It then acquaints the viewer with a host of amazing creatures with which I, at the very least, wasn't familiar - from grass-eating Ethiopian highland primates to the graceful Alpine snow leopard. The scenery is breathtaking and incredible, further underscoring the amazing abilities of the animals living in such an environment. Last but not least, the music is praiseworthy, especially in the segment where the Alps and their glaciers are presented to the viewer. The stunning, austere world of the mountainous regions across the world is more than done justice by this episode, and the series' usual shortfalls don't take away from the experience.
