BBC One - Deadly on a Mission: Pole to Pole, Antarctica

Steve walks amongst the largest colony of king penguins in the world.

Steve Backshall's journey from pole to pole continues, as the expedition reaches the remote and wild island of South Georgia. Steve gets a chance to swim with penguins.

Steve and the crew reach their penultimate stop on this global adventure, the remote and wild island of South Georgia. They had to journey through some of the roughest seas on earth to get here, but it's worth it. 

Steve gets to witness two huge elephant seals battling away at each other as he walks amongst the largest colony of king penguins in the world. Then he gets the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to swim with the penguins as they head offshore to feed. 

Next it's time to hit the high seas again as they travel to Antarctica - the final destination on this epic journey. It's somewhere Steve has waited a lifetime to explore and he is here with one mission - to dive with one of the greatest predators of these waters, the leopard seal. A truly terrifying experience.
