Explorer Paul Rose takes us on a journey through the pioneering names and 
events in the history of world discovery. Originally broadcast in winter 2006, 
the first four episodes are being repeated as part of the Journeys of Discovery

his crew ended up circumnavigating the world.
 
   THE MAKING OF CAPTAIN COOK
Paul Rose reveals the nautical adventures that transformed Captain James Cook
from a naval nobody into a national hero.

   THE ICE KING
In 1892 Fridtjof Nansen announced a seemingly suicidal plan to be first to the 
North Pole. He's now considered a forefather of polar exploration.
 
   THE FIGURE OF THE EARTH
Rose tells the story of three 18th century Frenchmen who set off on a perilous 
mission to measure the shape of the planet.
 
   HANGING BY A THREAD
