This award-winning film looks at the strange and ethereal world of New Zealand's limestone areas. The rocks and caves reveal ancient whale fossils, moa hunter art and evolutionary one-offs (such as giant carnivorous snails) that live in a limestone world. It goes into the darkness to find glow-worms, cave weta, albino crayfish and skeletons of moa who met their death falling down tomos. In underground cathedrals exquisite formations formed by the alchemy of water and limestone are captured. Includes footage of Waitomo Caves and Te Waikoropupu Springs.
