S1.E1 ∙ Rockies
The Rockies is the spine of North America, a beautiful wilderness that is home to cougar, wolverine, wolves, and grizzly. Daredevil wingsuit fliers jump from mile-high peaks and Native American tribes compete in breakneck horse races.
S1.E2 ∙ Himalaya
Our highest mountain range is home to extraordinary animals and cultures. Snow leopards visit isolated villages in search of food, Buddhist monasteries hide ancient rituals and athletes compete in the gruelling Everest Marathon.

The Andes is our longest mountain range, made up of hundreds of astonishing worlds. Pumas hunt in Patagonia, spectacled bears seek out water in a high-altitude desert and the bizarre shape-shifting rainfrog hides in equatorial cloud forest.
