Adventurer Steve Backshall returns to BBC Two this Sunday with another pulse-pounding episode of “Expedition.” This time, the destination is Greenland’s formidable Stauning Alps, where Backshall and his team face a trifecta of extreme challenges.
Episode 9 focuses on the team’s attempt to summit a remote, rarely climbed peak in the Stauning Alps. But before they even reach the base of the mountain, they’ll have to tackle a vast glacial river, testing their whitewater skills to the limit. And once the climbing is complete, the adventure continues with a high-stakes ski journey across a treacherous glacier.
Backshall, known for his cool head in high-pressure situations, guides his team through these extreme environments, where teamwork, resilience, and split-second decision-making are essential for survival. Tune in to BBC Two on Sunday, May 11 at 6:15 PM to see if they conquer Greenland’s frozen frontier.
