Island Air battles time and the elements, to rescue a group trapped in Deadman's Bay.
Tanalian Aviation pilots Joel Natwick and Josiah Freeman assist with a search and rescue for an experienced hiker deep in the winter wilderness.
Alaskan bush pilots risk everything to save hunters struggling to stay alive in a remote area of Kodiak.
With summer wildfires overpowering the Yukon forests, host/adventurer George Kourounis follows the fabled route of the Klondike Gold Rush sourdoughs through the bawdy town of Skagway, Alaska, paddling the white water rivers and the White Horse Rapids into the Yukon. He travels on mountain bike, steam train and Cessna to experience the huge fires and meet the northern fire crews battling the blazes.
Host/adventurer George Kourounis explores the American Southwest during the Desert Monsoon. He ups the danger factor by traveling with wild atheist shock-jock R.J. Evans to track massive lightning storms which can produce bolts of up to one hundred million volts. The pair come close - too close - to dangerous electrical clouds swirling over Tucson, Sedona and Monument Valley.

In 2000, a remarkable find was made in Chihuahua, Mexico, of a spectacular cave filled with giant crystals, some over 20 meters long. But it is a intensely difficult spot to explore with temperatures over 50 degrees C and humidity well over 100%. George leads an Explorers Club Flag Expedition into the cave, wearing special refrigerated suits and respirators to battle the extreme environment.
We break the bounds of earth, and look at the environment of space. We examine the difficulties and challenges of exploring this most challenging environment. George experiences some of the extreme training needed for space travel aboard a Czech-built Albatross fighter jet, the Zero-G plane, and a centrifuge producing 6 Gs of force, and witnesses the launch of a flight to the International Space Station.
George links up with two experienced polar adventurers to explore the frigid Canadian arctic in the depths of winter. The team first uses skis to cross the fractured sea ice of Frobisher Bay, then dog teams to head north through the spectacular Auyuittuq Mountains.
No-one creates eco-disasters on quite the scale of the former Soviet Union. In Uzbekistan, the Aral Sea, once one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, has seen its waters diverted, so that it has shrunk to 1/6 its previous size. In Crimea, a mountain has been carved into a james bondian submarine base. In northern Ukraine, the Chernobyl nuclear site has been reduced to a radioactive wasteland.
Early September of 2008 saw radical imagery on the hurricane maps of the Atlantic four named tropical storms, swirling in a train across the ocean. Angry Planet was there as three of them made landfall as hurricanes in the US. We filmed gustaf in Louisiana, Hanna in North Carolina, then flew with the USAF Hurricane Hunters into Ike over cuba, and met it again as it made a wild destructive landfall in Galveston, Texas.
A mysterious fever overwhelms Mark as he struggles to fulfill a childhood dream. He must use every ounce of inner strength to journey to the mouth of hell, and make it out alive.

These birds are spreading their wings, with or without the ability to fly.
Sandy beaches, shallow coves, and incredible biodiversity.
