Adventure

The history of human adventure — the men and women who went to the ends of the Earth and the edge of the possible. Amundsen and Scott racing to the South Pole; Hillary and Tenzing on Everest; Shackleton's impossible survival; the Trieste at the bottom of the sea; Kon-Tiki across the Pacific; the Wright brothers, Gagarin, Apollo 11 and the leap from the stratosphere; Livingstone, Fawcett and Thesiger in the blank spaces on the map. Real expeditions, real explorers, dated to when they actually happened — from the age of discovery to the modern golden age of adventure.

A chronological documentary of 337 moments spanning 1271–2026 on Loreline.
