Sunrise Earth is a nature documentary television series featuring hour-long episodes that aired in the United States on Discovery HD Theater.
Svalbard, Norway. The vast landscape seems to call out for companionship. Beneath the glow of a sunrise that blurs into dusk, the creatures Director David Conover finds give direction and a pulse to the open space. A hidden colony of fulmars is observed. They have incredibly long lives, unlike the common eiders, large diving ducks, which also breed here. In the summer, stocky arctic reindeer eat for twenty-four hours a day.
