Deadly on a Mission: Pole to Pole

Wild Islands (1x10)

Air date: Sep 07, 2014

Steve Backshall and the crew continue their journey south, island-hopping across the Southern Ocean. Their adventures begin in the wild Falkland Islands where they meet the tiny-but-tough rockhopper penguin, encounter one of the Falklands' fiercest underwater predators and Steve tests the intelligence of the local bad-boy raptors, the striated caracara. Next up, the team endure four days of hard sailing through some of the roughest seas on Earth to reach the rugged and remote Bird Island. Packed with stunning wildlife, immediately they are met by hundreds of Antarctic fur seals, prehistoric-looking giant petrels, and the magnificent wandering albatross performing its dazzling courtship display just fingertips away from Steve.
