Private Notes
In 1938, the Nazis launched expeditions to the Antarctic and Tibet in search of proof of an ancient master race. Was there any basis for these bizarre missions? Who financed them?
Cross the threshold of the final frontier as mankind embarks on the greatest adventure of all time: space travel. From heroic space pioneers to modern-day cliff-hanger missions, it's a thrilling look at humanity's quest to conquer space.
In 1953, the first brave group of visionaries stood on the highest point on earth — the summit of Mt. Everest. Since that time hundreds of expeditions have attempted, successfully and unsuccessfuly, to conquer the daunting mountain peak. Forty-seven years, hundreds of discarded oxygen bottles and tons of debris later, the highest camp of Everest is known as the world's highest trash dump. In May 2000, a group of environmentalists executed a full-scale cleanup of this extraordinary natural wonder. Narrated by Sharon Stone and stunningly photographed by high altitude cinematographer Jeff Rhoads (National Geographic's A Footprint on Everest), Beyond the Summit: The Everest Environmental Expedition documents their arduous endeavor.
