簡介
Explorer and naturalist Steve Backshall has dedicated his life to exploring some of the most remote locations on earth and venturing into places never before seen by human eyes, but he has only scratched the surface. Expedition series 2 sees Steve venture even deeper into the unknown to shine a light on unexplored corners of the planet. On a mission to discover fresh insights that could help to secure a future for the world’s wildlife, Steve and his hand-picked team of experts dive with sharks in Mexico’s Eastern Pacific, head deep into Africa’s unexplored jungles in search of apes, paddle the white-water of the Russian Far East into the heart of brown bear territory, abseil into the depths of Saudi Arabia’s ancient deserts to explore an unmapped, uncharted volcanic underworld and climb the Djangart mountains of Kyrgyzstan in search of endangered snow leopards. The ambition is big and – on this rapidly changing planet – the stakes have never been higher.
預告
Steve and a team of world class kayakers head to the Kamchatka peninsula in the Russian far east, to take on the first descent of the Kronotsky River – through white-water so extreme that it has never before been attempted. The team set out to paddle from source to sea, starting in the shadow of a still active volcano and ending at the Pacific Ocean – kayaking through an unspoilt wilderness packed with more brown bears than almost anywhere else on the planet. If the team can make it through the white-water, they will enter an untouched landscape and witness brown bears in their natural habitat – unaffected by humans. These Russian brown bears are so isolated, some of them may never have seen people before. There are few places left on this rapidly changing planet that remain intact, but on this expedition Steve and the team experience nature as it should be.
