The planet's rotation twists the air as it flows, helping form the hurricanes that lash the coasts. As moist air wells upwards, clouds become electrically charged and send lightning bolts crushing down to the earth, superheating the air to eighteen t

It was the start of a journey that would take from the foothills of the Himalayas and end here on the plains of Northern India. His mission was to make sense of human life. For me, Its genuinely exciting that what did Buddha discovered 25 centuries a

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

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

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

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

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

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

By searching for evidence that still survives today, we reconstruct the landscape and the wildlife of prehistoric North America. During the last Ice Age, massive glaciers covered half of North America. But to the far northwest, there was a land that

We were left with this atmosphere made of molten rock and vaporous rock. It took millions of years for that atmosphere to fall out and to be replaced by an atmosphere made up of nitrogen and carbon dioxide and water vapour. These new gases came from

In contrast, Jupiter and Saturn are all atmosphere. Unlike Earth, Jupiter doesnt really have a solid surface that you could stand on and then have your head up in the atmosphere looking at the clouds. Its just a giant, giant gas ball. Only one other

Kittinger is in the mid stratosphere, a record 102,800 feet high. And it is now the time to make the long, swift journey down. When it came time for me to jump, I was ready to jump because I was heading back toward a more friendly environment, a frie
