The annual congregation of grizzlies at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park and Preserve has become one of the world’s most popular wildlife spectacles. Every July, the massive Alaska bears catch an easy meal as salmon leap over the 5-foot-drop and reach their spawning grounds upriver.

Although a trip to the remote park may be out of reach for many, the iconic scene is broadcast around the world thanks to Explore, a philanthropic media organization that hosts seven high-definition web cameras in the park and streams the video live to anyone with an Internet connection. Before this year’s salmon run, highlights from previous years have been packaged together for a 30-minute TV special, Pearls of the Planet: Brown Bears, that will air at 7 p.m. ET/PT Monday on LinkTV (DirecTV 375 and DISH 9410), with an encore for viewers in Southern California at 8:30 p.m. PT Tuesday on KCET. A preview clip is embedded above.

“Alaska is one of the world’s true great natural cathedrals, which makes the brown bears one of the true sages of this sacred land,” Charlie Annenberg Weingarten, vice president of the Annenberg Foundation and the founder of Explore, said in an email to the Traveler.

Footage comes from high (atop Dumpling Mountain) and low (underwater at the base of Brooks Falls), offering a perspective beyond the Brooks Falls viewing platform. In addition to fishing, the grizzlies are shown fighting, mating, diving off the falls, and sunbathing along the river. Cubs play with their mother in one scene, but stay cautiously behind as a pack of adults approaches in another.

For all the beauty featured in the film, what might stand out is what isn’t included: There are no humans, narration, or music.

“I chose the sounds of nature because I believe that nature is a symphony upon itself, and the less humanity you inject in the film, the more pure the experience is,” Mr. Weingarten said. “I want you to feel like you are there.”

The wind gusts, splashing water, chirps from birds, and snorts from bears play to the mission of Pearls of the Planet, which is to bring nature to people everywhere. Recent viewers of Explore have been able to witness the birth (and sometimes death) of bald eagles in Iowa and ospreys in Maine. Other cameras follow household animals like dogs and cats, smaller creatures like bees, underwater giants like whales, and peaceful scenes at Redwood National Park and the Hawaiian shoreline. In total, Explore hosts more than 100 webcams in addition to 250 original films.

“I love the bears, but they are part of a larger network that, if you stop and just gaze, it will transform your consciousness forever,” Mr. Weingarten said.

As on Explore, while the bears are the stars of the film, they share the spotlight with other wildlife and a stunning landscape. An underwater camera catches birds diving for a snack, owls and bald eagles perch in the trees above, and a wolf appears to acknowledge a grizzly across the river just upstream.

“However,” Mr. Weingarten said, “the most majestic shot is the pre-dawn sunrise over Brooks Falls. It looks like the movie, ‘Excalibur.’ A thick fog mist rolls over the falls as the sun rises and pierces through the tree line. If you are lucky, you may catch a bear slowly making its way up the river. Beyond any description or words, it must be experienced.”

As incredible as the sunrise may be, there’s competition with a twilight sky that makes the river appear pink as well as the green ballet of the aurora borealis.

“It is such an honor to able to share this purity with the world and allow people to celebrate this moment,” Mr. Weingarten said.
