Summary
Penguin presents the audio edition of Expedition, written and read by Steve Backshall.
Shine a light into the unknown.
There are still dark corners of our planet that are yet to be explored. In this remarkable book, Steve Backshall offers an unflinching account of his adventures into these uncharted territories around the globe, in search of world firsts. Each location brings its own epic challenges - whether it's the first climb of an arctic ice fall in Greenland, the first recorded navigation of a South American river, or the first exploration of the world’s longest cave system in Mexico. But all of them represent new tests of the limits of human endeavour.
Accompanying a major 10-part series on BBC and Dave, Expedition is a breathtaking journey into the unknown, and a brilliantly written celebration of the pleasures of genuine discovery.

Moving and inspiring
I have always loved Steve Backshall, from the days of watching the Deadly 60 as a kid to his productions now. I found the book raw and moving and loved every minute. I feel more inspired to pursue my own adventures and see more of our beautiful planet.

Outdoors in audio
Fantastic audio book by Steve and in his words. It is always great to see the TV programs, but also good to hear the story.

Thank you Steve, thank you
I fell in love with Steve Backshall years ago and he has inspired me to plan my own expeditions. I have now discovered new rivers myself in Suriname and Guyana. I will forever be greatful for this man who got me through so much
