The series hypothesizes how 250 million years in the future, all of the continents will collide together once more, forming a new Pangea, with Eurasia right at its heart.

It features, among other things, creation of Victoria Falls, diamond mines of Sierra Leone, skeletons of early whales buried in the sand, and the nutrient-rich grass of the Serengeti Plains.

Iain visits an opal mining town called Coober Pedy to recreate the breakup of Gondwana, and to also show how Australia's formation led to the creation of a vast underground aquifer.

The episode also features cliffs of the Australian Bight which are a reminder to the times when Australia was once joined to Antarctica.

200 million years ago North and South America were carved from Pangaea, and pushed westwards as separate island continents.
