The series focuses on 8 different eco-systems of the world, and how human life is entwined with the landscape in which they survive. Mongolia forms the backdrop for sections within the Grasslands, Mountains and Deserts episodes. Panoramic Journeys worked on several shoots in the central steppe heartland, the Gobi Desert and the Altai Mountains, extending our logistics expertise to more remote areas than ever before. These shoots were some of the most challenging and rewarding film work that we have been involved in.
