What a year! We’ve covered hundreds of stories – went to New Zealand, Hawaii, Mexico and more – all to bring you the best of the planet. But clearly, even among our best, viewers have their favourites. We want you to tell us: Which three are your top picks for the year? Vote below (up to three votes per day) until December 17. We’ll reveal this year’s winners in our two-parter Daily Planet’s Top Ten of ’10 Show. The countdown begins December 21.
BigDog
Get an exclusive look at this incredibly realistic four-legged robot named BigDog. Daily Planet follows it behind-the-scenes in the lead-up to BigDog’s big test.
Cruising for Kakapos
Daily Planet takes you to a remote island off the coast of New Zealand on mission to track down one of the rarest parrots on the planet and is lucky enough to get rare footage of this elusive bird, up close.
Flying High
This is one energizing glider stunt you can’t afford to miss. Only Daily Planet takes you step-by-step through this death-defying move, with a play-by-play from the pilot who lived to tell the story.
Going for Green
See how Canada is making the 2010 Vancouver Olympic medals more environmentally friendly. Daily Planet gives you exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to this top-secret project.
Hanging Around
Dangling from cave ceilings in eastern Mexico, these snakes have definitely gone batty. And only Daily Planet takes you inside to show you one of the strangest dinners being eaten.
Keeping the Caribou
Find out what artistic technique scientists use to keep track of the caribou. Daily Planet takes you up in a helicopter for a paint job in Newfoundland no one else dares to capture.
Kinetic Success
The Grand Kinetic Championship racers cross the finish line; bruised, battered, but better than ever. Daily Planet has covered this race before, but this year’s event turns out to be the most entertaining yet.
Oil Search
The BP Oil Spill received all kinds of media attention from around the world but only Daily Planet takes you on a dive underwater to show you how these offshore oil rigs are much more than oil-pumping machines.
To Make a Tornado
Tornadoes are some of the most violent and unpredictable forces of nature on the planet. Daily Planet pays a visit to Chicago and finds a teenager there who’s figured out how to make tornadoes in his garage!
An Underwater Workday
Forget the cubicle; this cameraman’s job takes him to locales like no other. But it’s the footage he captures of big surf waves off Hawaii that will blow your mind – and most of it is underwater.
