Dschingis Khan war einer der erfolgreichsten Eroberer der Weltgeschichte. Als ganz normaler Nomadenjunge geboren, dessen Vater ermordet wurde, musste er in seiner Kindheit viel Hunger und Schikanen seines Halbbruders ertragen. Sein Wille, diesem Los zu entrinnen, war unbezwingbar. Als geschickter Kämpfer und kluger Taktiker wurde er zum Herrscher über das größte Reich, das je in der Lebenspanne eines Menschen entstand.

Magellan stach im Jahr 1519 mit seiner Flotte aus fünf Dreimastern in See. Die Fahrt ging ins Ungewisse, sein Ziel: einen westlichen Weg zu den Gewürzinseln zu finden. Drei Jahre später kehrte nur eines der fünf Schiffe zurück, lediglich 18 Mann hatten die Fahrt überlebt. Trotzdem war die Fahrt ein epochaler Triumph: Magellan hatte nicht nur eine Passage zum Pazifischen Ozean gefunden, erstmals war die Welt umsegelt worden. Dies war der praktische Beweis für die Theorie des Astronomen Kopernikus.

So you want to be an explorer? Explorers need courage, like Alexander the Great, who conquered most of the known world. But for budding explorers out there, the rewards can be great. Neil Armstrong earned lasting fame when he became the first person to set foot on the moon.

I 1953 lykkedes det Edmund Hillary som det første menneske nogensinde at sætte foden på verdens højeste punkt, toppen af Mount Everest. Verden havde fulgt åndeløst med. Ville det endelig lykkes at overvinde bjerget? Og var det overhovedet muligt for mennesker at overleve så højt oppe - eller ville de falde døde om? Dette er historien om Edmund Hillarys kamp for at nå toppen. Om forfrysninger, amputationer og livsfare. Om umådelig styrke, viljekraft og mod. Og om at opnå ting, selvom man kommer fra en fattig familie og får at vide, at man er en svækling.

Thor Heyerdahl er en af de mest utrolige eventyrere, verden nogensinde har set. Historien om ham er en historie om øde jungler, stormende have, kannibaler og kampe med menneskeædende hajer. En historie om vildskab, drama, fare, stolthed og ære. Om en mand, der nægtede at gøre tingene på den vante måde og udfordrede verden og sig selv igen og igen. I 1947 byggede Thor Heyerdahl sin egen tømmerflåde, satte ud fra Perus kyst og lod sig drive med af havstrømmene og vinden. Han ville bevise, at han på den simple flåde kunne nå fjerne Stillehavsøer 8.000 kilometer væk.

In 1910, Captain Robert Scott prepared his crew for a trip that no one had ever completed: a journey to the South Pole.

Suddenly two teams were vying to be the first to make history - what was to be an expedition had become a perilous race. In 2018, Captain Louis Rudd readied himself for a similarly grueling task: the first solo crossing of treacherous Antarctica.
