About this episode

Discover how the tango first sprang to life in the brothels of Buenos Aires, and since has evolved into what is considered glamour and elegance in high society today. Argentina also has something you wouldn’t expect – one of the world’s most dynamic and accessible ice fields. How large is the world’s biggest-known dinosaur to date? A fossil from one of these pre-historic creatures was found in a desolate part of southern Patagonia, in Argentina.
