Synopsis

Renowned, record-breaking British explorer Ed Stafford returns in a new series as he sets out on a quest of a very different kind - seeking the truth behind mysterious satellite images of Earth’s most remote locations. Ed will venture into new territories, with no idea what lies ahead of him until filming begins. Determined to make each journey a truly authentic adventure, his approach is to throw himself straight into the action by setting off for each target location with minimal preparation, just hours after hearing about it. The intrepid explorer will rely on his experience of surviving the wilderness and adapting to unforeseen circumstances if he is to succeed in his mission. Travelling to icecaps, deserts and mountainous regions, he will contend with extreme weather and hostile habitats, as well as work with locals who assist by sharing knowledge along with necessities such as lodging and transportation. In each episode, Ed will self-film the journey in his signature style, accompanied only by a shooting director. He will be armed with basic survival equipment, a set of coordinates and a ‘quadcopter’ – a camera drone with which he will aim to match what he sees on the ground to the satellite image that inspired his search.
