Travellers in Time

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The award-winning series of four films of early exploration. Introduced from the Royal Geographical Society by the Antarctic explorer Duncan Carse. 1: Everest - First Attempt (1922)
'Mount Everest is great and beautiful. Marvellously built: majestic, terrible.' So wrote one of the first climbers to stand beneath the peak of the highest mountain in the world. Yet these early pioneers were to get within 1,700 feet of the summit; bivouac through a blizzard; get frostbite and windburn; and at the end of their tribulations, return with a classic film.
