Expedition With Steve Backshall: Unpacked

Moments that very nearly stopped the Expedition teams in their tracks on adventures that made them question whether they should even be there in the first place.

Steve and the crew encounter creatures both awe-inspiring and fear inducing, including the world's largest land predator; close encounters with nature itself in flooded caves of Mexico and on sheer cliffs of Oman.

The teams behind five world-first expeditions.

A special look behind the scenes at the work of Steve's crew, going back to examine some of their most daring explorations.
