|
| This is the most extensive cross platform porject in National Geographic's history, involving all of the organization's media platforms. In addition to 7 television hours, coverage includes a Magazine cover story, books for adults and children, blue ray dvds, games and other interactive features. The All-National Geographic Great Migrations team spent two and a half years in the field traveling 420,000 miles in 20 countries and all seven continents to bring this specatacular first-of-it's-kind production to television in November, 2010. Move as millions. Survive as one. National Geographic Channel's Great Migrations gives the word "move" a whole new meaning. Narrated by Alec Baldwin, this seven-part global programming event takes viewers around the world on the arduous journeys millions of animals undertake to ensure the survival of their species. Shot from the land and air, in trees and cliff-bands, on ice floes and underwater, Great Migrations tells the formidible, powerful stories of many of the planet's species and their movements, while revealing new scientific discoveries with breathtaking high-definition clarity. The beauty of these stories is underscored by new knowledge fo these species' fragile existence and their life-and-death quest for survival in an ever-changing world. The All-National Geographic Great Migrations team spent two and a half years in the field, traveling 420,000 miles in 20 countries and all seven continents to bring this spectacular first-of-its-kind production to television in November 2010. |

| Accompany present-day adventurer Conrad Anker as he recreates the 1924 ascent of George Mallory to the top of Mount Everest to solve a 75-year old mystery. The Wildest Dream brings to the screen the last days of adventurer and Mount Everest Climber George Mallory - the man who may or may not have been the first to scale the world's most challenging peak. After disappearing 800 feet from the summit in 1924, Mallory's body was never found until present-day climber Conrad Anker discovered it, frozen and intact, 75 years later. Linking the past with the present, The Wildest Dream recounts Anker's efforts to scale Everest in precisely the same fashion as Mallory, with authentic equipment and clothing, to see if Mallory could indeed have made it to the top. Sifting through clues left by Mallory, some of which have only come to light with the discovery of his body, Anker and his team attempt to solve the mystery of Mallory's death and perhaps grant to him the accolades that he may well be due. | |
