Scientists are racing to unlock the secrets of these icy giants because they may tell us how the universe evolved, how the planets formed and how life began on Earth.

Stargazers have been searching for extraterrestrial life for years, but now technology may be advanced enough to find it.. Travel to the most likely places in our solar system where alien life may be hiding.

This episode of Nomads will be led by base jumping icon Miles Dasher, on a cultural journey with ski-base pioneer, Eric Roner, all around air specialist, Carson Kline and BASE new-comer, Will Burks; for a base jumping expedition throughout Switzerland. Along the way, our athletes will explore the countryside by train while diving into the culture and quaint living of this region.

Using high-tech forensic science, see why some scientists believe that early pioneers, with a sophisticated understanding of engineering, arrived thousands of years earlier than we previously believed.

It was the largest volcanic eruption in the last two million years -- and may have triggered a human genetic bottleneck, leaving only a few thousand survivors to preserve the human race.

Also known as National Geographic - Wild: Amazon's Deadly Dozen
The steamy jungles of the Amazon region reverberate with the sound of screeches, growls and grunts. These are the noises of creatures hidden in the trees vying with one another for survival in the forest.

Africas wild spaces host an incredible array of creatures who engage in a daily ballet of life and death. Among this myriad of species is an elite group of twelve an assembly of mammals, reptiles and arachnids equipped with an arsenal of predator skills. Now, witness their magnificence by journeying into their inner sanctums. From the arid Saharan deserts in the north, to the lush plains of the south, to the expansive Nile River, they creep crawl and live where we live, work, and play.

In a conflict packed with devastating battles, Gallipoli stands out as one of the First World War's most futile and bloody battles. But the story of this blood-soaked part of Turkey lies not only in the soil of the battlefield but also the waters around it.Now, nearly a century after the fighting stopped, underwater explorer Dr Robert Ballard - the man who discovered the Titanic's final resting place - is starting to piece together long-lost stories of the Gallipoli campaign through the wrecks lying on the sea floor.Gallipoli's Deep Secrets heads underwater and unearths the wrecks where the firepower of the mighty British Navy was outwitted by a weakened Ottoman Empire, to seal the fate of...

This film reveals the technological leaps forward that have enabled the world's biggest space station - the International Space Station - to be built. The International Space Station orbits 200 miles above our heads, hurtling around the Earth at seventeen and a half thousand miles an hour. It is one of the greatest engineering feats of all time. Its crew performs vital experiments that will one day allow humans to live permanently in space. A test bed for future missions deeper into space, the space station could enable future generations to journey throughout the Solar System or even live on Mars. This film explores how the space station was made possible through a series of five engineering breakthroughs. The film features five landmark space stations that have contributed innovations to allow engineers to build bigger and explore the wonders of space travel. Using high-end computer generated imagery that makes up 50% of the film, this film reveals the incredible stories behind these structures and the inventions that have pushed the boundaries of science. Five ingenious leaps forward that enabled space stations to evolve …from BIG to BIGGER into the World'.

Aquatic ecologist Zeb Hogan continues his quest to find and protect the worlds largest freshwater fish in the frigid rivers of Mongolia. He will travel by plane, truck, and horseback to find the largest trout known as the Hucho taimen. This is not your everyday dinner trout. This monster can grow up to 6 feet in length and weighs up to 200 pounds. Once king of the river, the taimen is starting to disappear. And as winter approaches and temperatures drop, Zeb will be up against a tight deadline. Join him and a team of scientists, anglers, and local Mongolians as they search for the worlds largest trout: the Taimen.

Tornado Alley observes scientist and inventor Tim Samaras as he attempts what has never been done before Tim has been asked by Boeing to catch monster hail and asked by the science community to study the interior and immediate exterior of the Tornado; not by observing from the side of the road or calculating speeds from distant radar signals, but from actually getting inside the storm itself. Master of Disaster - Tornado (working title) will join Tim as he chases through tornado alley looking for the perfect opportunity to deploy his top inventions, his sci-fi looking tornado probes to penetrate the interior and the mobil messonet team to document the atmosphere on the exterior of a tornado.
