Product Description
Spectacular on-location footage, evidence from geologists in the field, and clear, dramatic graphics combine in this stunning 13-part series from HISTORY to show how immensely powerful, and at times violent, forces of geology have formed our planet.
From the Great Lakes to Iceland, the San Andreas Fault to Krakatoa, HOW THE EARTH WAS MADE travels the globe to reveal the physical processes that have shaped some of the most well-known locations and geological phenomena in the world. With rocks as their clues and volcanoes, ice sheets, and colliding continents as their suspects, scientists launch a forensic investigation that will help viewers visualize how the earth has evolved and formed over millions of years.
Experience all 13 episodes of this landmark series for the first time on Blu-ray.

This release is in 16:9.

You should refrain from posting reviews about things based on inaccurate descriptions. The History website (and indeed other retailers such as Amazon) have the aspect ratio listed incorrectly. This is actually 16:9 widescreen and a native high definition release.
It's stupid that the technical specs are still listed wrong on this website after all this time and it's even stupider that Amazon and History allow reviews to be posted from people who haven't even bought the item.
No wonder History's Blu-rays don't seem to be selling that great with this kind of pervasive incompetence.
Just keep in mind that this and the rest of the History Blu-rays incorrectly listed as being 1.33:1 are actually proper 16:9 and any reviewers complaining about the aspect ratio have not bought the item and are raging because they read the incorrect technical specs on the retailer's website stating that the Blu-ray is 1.33:1.
The DVDs might be cropped to 4:3, however. But if you're that concerned about aspect ratios in this day and age you should not be buying DVDs. Watching a DVD on a 16:9 HDTV is absolutely ridiculous.

The Blu Ray Is In 16:9 Aspect Ratio

I almost didn't buy this blu ray because several reviews and descriptions I found online mentioned that the aspect ratio was 4:3. However, I gave it a shot and the blu ray I received IS in 16:9 aspect ratio. The show itself is incredible and if you have any interest in geology or just science in general, I highly recommend that you buy this blu ray set!

A Fascinating Series With Knowledgable Narration from the History Channel.

I have the first six volumes of The Universe on blu-ray, also from the History Channel, and have watched them many times. This set on the geology of our planet looks great. The people who do the narration, many of whom work for the U.S. Geological Survey, are outstanding. If you have a blu-ray player, get the blu-ray set. If you don't have a blu-ray player, get one. Season One holds more than 10 hours of information on 3 blu-rays. This set features geological information on Yellowstone, Hawaii and Iceland.
I have already ordered the Season Two set and hope there are many more to come. Highly recommended.
