Second in the new series in which Ray Mears shows how to survive in some of the most inhospitable places on earth. Belarus. The ancient forests of Belarus are the last reminder of how Northern Europe once looked. In the vast wilderness of the Naliboki forest, where thousands of Jews lived off the land after escaping the Nazis. Mears embarks on an emotionally draining experience in which he tracks wolves and bison, raids ants nests for larvae, and is shown how to weave a pair of lime-bark shoes by a 70-year-old forester.

Helike- the Real Atlantis. In 373 BC, a huge earthquake and seismic sea wave destroyed and submerged the Greek city of Helike. Its remains have proved as elusive as those of Atlantis, whose myth the catastrophe may have inspired. Armed with new geological evidence, archaeologists believe they have solved the scientific detective story and have found traces of what may prove a Greek Pompeii: a frozen moment of life from the height of classical civilisation.
