Series 2: Episode 6

Steve takes on four entirely new adventures to some of the remotest parts of the planet in search of precious natural wonders.\n\nIn the desert kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Steve teams up with one of the world’s best free climbers, Leo Houlding, and former Royal Marine Aldo Kane. Together, they scale the highest peak in the ancient Dedan kingdom to unearth the secrets of this 2,500-year-old civilisation.\n\nIn Gabon, Steve heads deep into the jungle to find a very special group of gorillas who have learned to trust humans – but who no-one has seen for nearly a year.\n\nIn Mexico, Steve travels to the Sea of Cortez – known as the world’s aquarium – on a mission to free dive with mobula rays. Although they are protected by law, this incredibly rare marine species is under threat of extinction.\n\nIn Kamchatka, Steve sets out to explore the Russian tundra in autumn, when brown bears are feasting on salmon. He witnesses a pristine, untouched wilderness where wildlife is unaffected by humans – a glimpse of the world as it should be.
