Expedition With Steve Backshall

Unpack the moments that very nearly stopped the Expedition teams in their tracks on adventures that made them question whether they should even be out there, to the points where they knew if they took one step further, there was no turning back.

Unpack close encounters with creatures that were awe-inspiring and fear-inducing, including the world's largest land predator. Plus, close encounters with nature herself in the flooded caves of Mexico and on the sheer cliffs of Oman.

Unpack the story of the world-class teams behind our world-first expeditions. Having the right team members, with the right skills, expertise and thirst for adventure, was key to exploring the remote Arctic wilderness, the flooded caves of Mexico, the impenetrable Indonesian jungle and a hidden gorge in the heart of the forests of South America.

Unpack the behind-the-scenes camerawork and logistics that made filming our expeditions possible. Working together, Steve and the team not only ventured into the unknown, they brought these epic journeys to the TV screen.

Steve and a team of world-class kayakers head to the Kamchatka peninsula in the Russian far east, to take on white-water so extreme it has never been attempted, and to explore a pristine wilderness packed with more brown bears than almost anywhere else on the planet.

Steve joins forces with ropes expert Aldo Kane and Saudi Arabian geologists Mahmoud AlShanti and Hala Alwagdani on a mission to explore an unmapped volcanic underworld in search of the longest lava tube in Arabia, which could contain bones and artifacts from ancient civilizations.
