1 "South Island" July 18, 2011 Bear Grylls must fling himself out of a plane and parachute to safety to reach this remote area. Crossing the country's highest mountain range and starting a fire in a waterlogged forest are just some of the unpredictable things he faces in this terrain. 2 "Fire And Ice" July 25, 2011 Bear Grylls is dropped on an ice cap covering an active volcano. In blizzard conditions he struggles to make headway, and the barren land offers little food. Can he reach civilization when faced with swollen river crossings and ever present flash floods? 3 "Red Rock Country" August 12, 2011 Bear Grylls is in red rock country - southern Utah. Armed only with a lasso, he descends a rock pinnacle and gets trapped in a narrow gorge. Crossing an arid wilderness, he's left hanging 100 ft above a ravine. And Bear's craziest airplane stunt ever! 4 "Land of The Maori" August 19, 2011 Over 100 people drown each year in New Zealand, and Bear must cross a raging river on a tree trunk to head toward civilization. On his journey to safety he runs out of water, is forced to climb up active volcanic ranges and scale down a waterfall. 5 "Working the Wild" November 29, 2011 Bear Grylls takes the viewer behind the scenes to meet the crew that follows his every step. Whether he's jumping from helicopters or eating the unimaginable, the camera is never far away from the action. Now the crew gets to tell their side of the story.
2004年节礼日早上7点58分,印度洋海底深处首先发生了9.1级地震,并引发了有记录以来的最大海啸之一。地震发生几分钟后,一道30米高的水墙便直逼印度尼西亚。 随即,海啸又相继袭击了泰国、斯里兰卡、马来西亚、菲律宾等。难以想象的海啸破坏力将东南亚沿海城镇夷为了平地,并在24小时内夺去了超过25万人的生命。为了弄清楚在这场印度洋大海啸中发生的一切,本系列纪录片将按这场海啸侵袭的时间轴和路线进行回顾,一点点地拼凑出当时的情景。科学家们证明了最初的地震和随后的海啸之间存在联系,并深入研究了地震和海啸具有如此破坏力的原因。节目中,救援人员、记者和海啸幸存者将为我们讲述当时的可怕场景、人们的反应、紧急救援情况,以及这场悲剧带给他们的影响。 制作:Voltage TV、Motion Content Group、Channel 5 Television
