BBC Two - Undiscovered Worlds with Steve Backshall, Series 1, Arctic Part 2

Steve Backshall is on a mission to summit a remote, unclimbed mountain deep in the Arctic.

Naturalist and explorer Steve Backshall leads a team on a mission to summit a remote and unclimbed mountain deep in Greenland’s Arctic wilderness.

Steve Backshall is visiting unexplored parts of the world. On this expedition, he attempts to summit an unclimbed mountain deep in Greenland’s Arctic wilderness. He faces many hazards - from rivers of freezing meltwater to quicksand and treacherous glacial ice. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet which means Greenland’s ice sheet, over two kilometres thick in places, is melting. The climb lets Steve and his team look over an ancient habitat living on borrowed time.
