Synopsis

What would you expect from a couple who met and fell in love at the North Pole? French filmmaker Jean-Gabriel Leynaud and Danish adventurer Bettina Aller take us to the ends of the earth to discover some of the most remote, exotic and dangerous places on the planet. From the frozen ocean to lakes of lava, their fiery romance drives them to the limit – and beyond.

Ep. 1 99 Days on the Ice
Crossing the Arctic Ocean on skis is the longest, coldest and hardest polar expedition imaginable. The 2,000-kilometer trek that pushes them to their physical and mental limits and exposes the firsthand reality of the dangers of global warming.

Ep. 2 Path to the Stone Age ON LINE
Trek into the mountain forests of West Papua in search of the Korowai, an indigenous tribe living in near total isolation since the Stone Age. Jean Gabriel and Bettina bring their children along for the first half of their adventure – then plunge deeper into the jungle on their own.

Ep. 3 Inside the Volcanoes
It's dangerous enough descending into the crater of an active volcano. But what happens when that volcano is located in a war zone? Bettina and Jean-Gabriel head to Ethiopia and the Congo in an attempt to reach and to conquer two of the Rift Valley's mountains of fire and reach the shores of a 300-meter wide lava lake.

Ep. 4 TBC
