Pack those pre-Monday blues away and tuck yourself in front of the TV this November, as National Geographic has planned two one-hour specials on the most thrilling journeys two National Geographic photographers have taken yet.
Join Cory Richards on his newest assignment yet– climbing the highest, most remote, unexplored peaks in one of the harshest, most desolate places on earth: Antarctica. Other than climbing gear and food, he and his team will be bringing along a full kit of camera toys as well as a remote-controlled heli-cam to capture pictures of their ascent of five previously unclimbed peaks. Throughout the programme, the audience will also get to see a selection of photographers tell their hair-raising and often hilarious adventures while capturing that all important photo.

The following week, join Tim Laman, one of National Geographic’s most famous photographer on the final shoot of his latest National Geographic assignment: to capture the wildlife of Australia’s Cape York Peninsula and the adjacent areas of southern New Guinea across the Torres Strait.
One of the last great wild places on earth, this untouched region harbors rain forests, heathlands, sand dunes, wild rivers, savannahs, and pristine coastlines – each with its own spectacular wildlife. By 4 wheel-drive, boat, bush plane, and hard slogging, Tim has been documenting the stunning bird life of the region – from fairy wrens to gorgeous Palm Cockatoos – plus flying foxes, freshwater crocodiles, tree frogs, frilled lizards, monitors, and geckos.
