Impacted by climate change - temperatures have warmed along the Peninsula faster than anywhere on the planet during the past 50 years - this part of Antarctica is also experiencing a boom in tourism and nations fighting over who owns what as its ice slowly disappears. This National Geographic-sponsored exploration is a one-of-a-kind look at Antarctica from a unique perspective - sea level.

Это биографический фильм о двух мужественных британских первооткрывателях — отчаянном исследователе (без преувеличения — бретёре и головорезе), этнографе, полиглоте и дипломате Ричарде Фрэнсисе Бёртоне и путешественнике, офицере Джоне Хеннинге Спике, и рассказывает всего об одном 2-летнем (1856—1858 гг.) эпизоде из их насыщенной приключениями, весьма сложной жизни — о предпринятой по поручению Королевского географического общества полной трудностей экспедиции в экваториальную Африку в поисках истока Нила, которые, как предполагалось ещё в античность, находится в загадочных и неизведанных Лунных горах.

Over the centuries, explorers traded tales of a lost civilization amid the dense Amazonian rainforest. Scientists dismissed the legends as exaggerations, believing that the rainforest could not sustain such a huge population—until now.

Using CGI and dramatic re-creations, National Geographic re-imagines the banks of the Amazon 500 years ago, teeming with inhabitants living in the Lost Cities of the Amazon.
