Documentary following the staff working at the highest hospital in the world as they treat the many climbers who suffer injuries while climbing Mount Everest.

Summit season is about to start at Everest Basecamp, and the doctors working at the highest hospital in the world gear up to deal with a constant stream of life-threatening emergencies. With hundreds of climbers about to enter the death zone, it is only a matter of time before Everest claims its first casualties.
At the foot of Mount Everest, a climber comes into the basecamp clinic at death's door. Can the doctors save his life and fly him out? As the Everest summit season gets underway, climbers are exposed to a lethal range of high-altitude illnesses, trauma and frostbite, and the world's highest clinic gets busier and busier.
At the world's highest hospital at Everest Basecamp, volunteer doctors treat the first major frostbite case of the season, and UK scouts head for summit glory. Perched in a tent on the Khumbu Glacier, the basecamp clinic is the frontline of high-altitude medicine where doctors battle to save the lives of climbers who run into trouble in the death zone.
At Everest Base Camp, a UK scout pays a painful price for reaching the top, and three climbers set off for a record-breaking second summit in seven days. With base camp melting and the monsoon approaching, is there still time to risk a final push to the top?

In this four-part BBC documentary, former Monty Python funnyman and renowned globe-trotter Michael Palin sets off from Gibraltar to travel across the Sahara, his witty humor downplaying the hardships he faces along the arduous journey. He travels to Morocco, Mauritania, Mali and beyond, across some of the harshest terrain on the planet.

Everest veteran Ben Webster leads a group of climbers through every aspect of a daring summit attempt. This is the ultimate reality program that explores the trials of a team climbing the world's highest mountain. And, for the first time ever, feature footage will be shot from the perspective of each climber. Four climbers, four cameras. Who will make it to the top? Who will survive?

This is the story, in eight episodes, of the conquest of Mount Everest in the Himalayas and its impact on the world. We meet the climbers who reached the summit and those who perished attempting the ascent. We encounter the Sherpa people, an ethnic group originating from Tibet, explore high-altitude mountaineering techniques, and hear the stories of expedition leaders and team members throughout their journey, while cameras capture every danger on the icy peaks. Viewers will remember that Everest is a world of illusions, a world that can become hostile in an instant, swept by fierce winds and deadly ice slides. A more recent, political, ecological, and economic perspective focuses primarily on present-day Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan and their economies, including the Tibetan carpet industry and the Chinese occupation.
