Against the Sea

The Dutch have been holding back the sea for more than 2000 years. This system of dikes and windmills has evolved into one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World: the North Sea Protection Works. We will find out how engineers created the 30-kilometre-long enclosure dam that collars the Zuidersee, the impressive Delta Project that protects southwest Holland and the Eastern Schelde Barrier, made of steel gates slung between massive concrete piers.
