In the Middle of Nowhere A Ed Stafford: King of the Jungle It took two years, four months and one week for Ed Stafford to walk the entire length of the Amazon River. Unbearable heat and humidity tormented him as he hacked through the dense jungle with a single machete. Ed describes his trip as agonising and he suffered greatly. A former British army captain, Ed is no stranger to hardship or challenge. Despite everyone telling him that it was an impossible task, Ed was sure he could do it. However, once on the trip there were moments when Ed came face to face with danger and thought he was going to die. Fortunately, he managed to complete his 6,000 kilometre journey and became the first man to walk the Amazon River. B Jessica Watson: Sea Queen When Australian Jessica Watson was eleven years old she heard the story of an 18 year old man who sailed alone around the world. Impressed by what the young man had done, Jessica announced to her parents that she planned to do exactly the same thing at the age of sixteen. When news got around about her upcoming trip many people disapproved of a young girl taking on such a dangerous endeavour. However, with her parenttasks full support Jessica set off alone for a non-stop journey at sea. Facing torrential storms and various mechanical problems on board, the teenager finally arrived after sailing around the world in 210 days. The hardest part Jessica says was not having anyone to talk to, but the stunning sunsets and starry nights above her boat made it all worth it. C Eric Larsen: Iceman Some people like cold weather. For Eric Larsen it’s a passion that he can’t seem to get enough of. For many years now Eric Larsen had been exploring freezing environments. During this time, Larsen has been witness to the rapid disappearance of polar regions which inspired him to take on a new expedition called “Save the Poles" to shed some light on the issue. Larsen traversed both the North and South Poles and climbed the summit of Mount Everest all in 365 days. Braving temperatures of - 50°C, Larsen hiked, skied and swam across these extreme areas, all while filming a documentary. "In such expeditions there are very few safe situations," Larsen explains, and he often found himself at risk and at the mercy of nature. Larsen plans with his film to show off these uniquely beautiful but often forgotten places to the rest of the world. D David de Rothschild: Plastic Voyager David de Rothchild and his crew embarked on an incredible voyage across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Sydney. Aboard a boat made out of 11,500 plastic bottles and powered by solar and wind energy, Rothschild’s aim was to highlight the enormous amount of plastic rubbish caught up in the oceantasks currents. The boat, Plastiki. demonstrates how disposable plastic can be reused in a constructive way. Rothchild spent four years preparing for the expedition as Plastiki was being built. Upon the boat’s completion. Rothschild still had his doubts about whether the boat could withstand the journey. In the end Plastiki travelled 9,500 miles and arrived safely to a cheering crowd in Sydney Harbour.
