Strap in for a peek at some of Earth’s most inhospitable locales. Face crevasses and ice boulders on Mount Everest’s Khumbu Icefall, see a condor chick’s battle for survival in the Grand Canyon, and take on territorial elephants on Mount Kilimanjaro.

Feel humbled by the incredible power of Earth’s largest bodies of water. See fishermen risk death in the pools of mighty Victoria Falls in Africa, square off with killer bulls in France’s Camargue region, and spot a protective manta ray in a reef.

Gasp at the force that makes our planet unique: life itself. Travel to the Amazon for a peek inside a human-animal clash that marks a rite of passage, brave killer bees with a Bangladeshi father and son, and track mighty tigers on the hunt for honey.
