Here in Crystal Palace in south London, you can still see the first dinosaur exhibition that was ever built anywhere in the world. The sculptures were unveiled in 1854. It was the start of an obsession that weve never got over. But it wasnt long befo

Dinosaurs. Youve probably seen hundreds of them. You might think you know what they look like. But almost every dinosaur youve ever seen is a work of fiction. You turn on the television. it almost feels that we know everything about them. And thats n

This roof's just getting lower and lower now, which I don't like. All of this part of the ceiling here has just collapsed. It's a bad time for the torch to come apart. If this goes out, I'm in real trouble. I can let you just see -- all of this stuff

Now Im on the lookout for fuel for a nice warm fire. Therere loads of these birch trees around here, and these are what Im looking for. I can tell theyre birch just because of the way theyre silver-limbed. This time of year in the winter, all the lea

And you are warm again. The storm has blown over. And Ive spotted a forest in the distance. In Iceland, the poor soil, wind and temperature means that trees are few and far-between. But when you find them, they are ideal for both shelter and wildlife

I could actually eat the meat raw. But its harder to digest and can actually take energy away from the body. So cook meat whenever you can. You see here just where all the water is boiling. And all I need to do is take my shoelace off and then I have

And this is a kind of pretty nasty area where Ive got a boiling pool on both sides. Temperatures here are about forty degrees Fahrenheit. So it is warm enough for edible grasses, moss and lichen. Since Viking times, sheep have roamed free, grazing he

You know, thats kind of a manageable temperature. Ive got to get in fast and if I dont get these wet clothes off, my body will get into shock. In this wind, they should hopefully dry in maybe a couple of hours. But at least during that time I can lie

Already I can feel the wind changing. And the Icelanders have a saying -- if you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes, and it will get a lot, lot worse. Im in the wilderness in Iceland. Here, there are huge freezing rivers like this. And an

Im in Iceland, tackling the dangers youd come across if you got stranded here. But a deep glacial river is blocking my route. My only option is to jump. Ok. Freezing water can send my body into shock. Im also rapidly losing heat and thats making me w

What you often get with crevasses is just a thin covering of compacted snow. Uh, its called a snow bridge. And you can see there just where one has collapsed. And this is why they are so dangerous. You dont know when you are on one, and you dont know

A snow hole like this will keep you out of the wind. The next thing I need do is to dig a bit of a pit down. And the reason I do that is that cold air sinks. So I dont want this cold air around me. So I want it to go down into what they call a cold w

I was hoping this is gonna be a good place to shelter. But its not. Shes gonna act like a wind funnel. I need to think again and get out of here pretty fast now. As it grows darker, a storm once again is moving in. Ive got minutes before its gonna hi

But as quickly as it came, the storm lifts. And it gives me a brief chance to get my bearings. What weve got here is an ice cave. And caves can give you protection. The problem is this cornice all the way up there and how Im gonna get over this, over

Man, this place is bleak. Im here in the middle of winter. Just now its 15 degrees Fahrenheit. But in a few hours, it can get down to a deadly minus ten. Get some feeling back in the hands again. My goal is to show how you could survive in this waste

They are responsible for over 60 unprovoked attacks in Australia every year. Crocodiles very rarely miss a target. And recently there was a guy canoeing in Queensland and a crocodile came up underneath him, turned him over and took him. Never underes

What Ive got to do here is really grip just with my thighs and let them take the strain and just balance with my arms and try and protect my family jewels. Theres water at the bottom of this gorge. But you cant guarantee its drinkable. You have to fi
