The Eighth Continent: New Zealand's Forgotten Geological Story
The Eighth Continent uncovers the forgotten geological story of Zealandia, the vast landmass largely submerged beneath the ocean around New Zealand. The film explores how scientists came to recognise this hidden continent and what its drowned terrain reveals about Earth's past. It reframes New Zealand as the visible tip of a far greater whole. Concise and intriguing, it is a fascinating look at a continent most people never knew existed. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
