Storyline
You are about to take a flight through and around Lake Tahoe, viewing the landscape as earth scientists. See evidence of extreme events: earthquakes that formed steep cliffs, a volcanic mountain range that closed off the valley, glaciation that gouged canyons and dammed the outlet, droughts that lasted over a thousand years, and an underwater landslide that caused a huge, destructive tsunami, recreated by computer simulation. Our appreciation of Lake Tahoe is enhanced by our greater understanding of its natural processes over the vast span of time. Shown in high definition stereo 3D at the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center, Incline Village NV, and available on 3D Blu-ray. Written by Anonymous

This is much more than a scenic view of Lake Tahoe. The viewer will discover many hidden secrets about Lake Tahoe, from its origin some 2 million years ago to the challenges facing this magnificent lake today.
Thanks to the 3D animation created by Steve McQuinn, viewers encounter a view of Lake Tahoe from its snow-capped mountains and surrounding watershed to hidden mysteries hundreds of feet below its famous blue water. From glaciers to logging to invasive species, this movie reveals more about Lake Tahoe in 15 minutes than one can imagine.
Although "Lake Tahoe in Depth" focuses on the second deepest Alpine lake in the United States, it's a timely production addressing environmental issues that extend well beyond its watershed.
