Expedition with Steve Backshall

The best thing ever put on tv! Inspiring, heartening and enthralling, a must watch.

Whilst Steve navigates his way through an icy coast off Greenland. He feels the need to constantly remind the audience how close he is to a horrific icy death!

Overly dramatic, which unfortunately ruins the beautiful backdrop and important message of climate change.

Halfway through and I've heard little from the other 3 professionals he has with him.

Disappointing, I'm out!

Well, he has found a new approach to expeditions in the wildest of the wildest of nature (sic.), but is it working? Well, he is probably making money out of it, so in that case, yes. But for other then the petty tv channels who buys in these "extreme expedition" series.....no. We are in the 20 century, and when you have to create unnecessary ways or obstacles to reach your meaningless goals, it just gets embarrassing. You are not Amundsen, Nansen, Scott or Hillary, and you never will be. Nansen was the first to cross Greenland in 1888, that's it basically. If you also want to do it, you're too late to get famous. But hey! Maybe if you try to walk over Greenland alone, blindfolded, backwards and naked........maybe then you have your claim to fame? But not by me. Pretty pictures though, haha.

11 minutes into the Cenotes episode, he tells us he needs to "Expect the unexpected!" I'm done.

Steve's enthusiasm is contagious. Move over Attenborough! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us armchair explorers. I hope you continue to bring awareness to these special places that need protection.
