World's Toughest Expeditions with James Cracknell

Description: Adventurer and former Olympic rowing champion James Cracknell goes back in time to simulate the toughest expeditions taken by the world's most extreme explorers. He'll attempt to survive as his predecessors did, using only the equipment they had available to them, and also try to solve some of the mysteries of these iconic journeys. Focusing on the pivotal points - for example, the moment Dr Livingstone faces the biggest rapids of the Zambezi, the Amazon jungle crossing just before the explorer Colonel Fawcett disappears, the point at which the Wild West gold hunters perished on their pioneering push across America - the series also analyses the science behind the physiological changes the explorers experienced.
