Adam Walton talks to expert mountaineers and daring scientists about their experiences working in extreme environments. Joining Adam for a chat is Tori James, the first Welsh woman to climb Mount Everest. She was also a member of the first all-female team to ski to the magnetic North Pole and holds the record for the longest open-sea kayak in UK waters. We hear from Hari Budha Magar MBE, the first double above-knee amputee to summit Mount Everest and the first to complete the Seven Summit challenge, climbing the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. Archaeologist, Dr George Harold Nash, describes the comedy of cave exploration. Plus, Glaciologist, Professor Alun Hubbard, discusses navigating the Arctic back in 2022. Produced By Stuart Russell.
