- This critically acclaimed six-part mini-series... Shot between March and June 2004, Ultimate Survival: Everest chronicles the Everest efforts of Team Discovery, which included two Canadian climbers - producer and experienced adventure guide Ben Webster, and his girlfriend, rookie climber and PhD candidate in Sports Psychology, Shauna Burke - plus Australian Andrew Lock and Hector Ponce De Leon from Mexico, both veterans of Everest and the world's most intimidating peaks. The series also follows the treks of Annabelle Bond, a London socialite; and diabetic American climber Will Cross. The expedition's members, including the team's Nepalese Sherpa guides, were trained to act as the production team, filming the extreme physical demands, physiological changes and emotional hazards. Soaring 8,848 meters above sea level - equal to the height of 16 CN Towers placed end to end - Everest's summit is the ultimate challenge for climbers around the world.
- Twelve ill and injured soldiers from the Canadian forces journey half way around the world to the Himalayas, where in the shadow of the world's highest peak Mount Everest, they are pushed to their limits as they attempt to climb the 20,305 ft. giant known as Island Peak. Their mission is to raise awareness and funds for other battle-injured soldiers with the hope that the expedition will help heal their emotional, mental and physical wounds.
- From the heat of battle in Afghanistan, to the cold of Canada's Arctic, recovering Canadian soldiers injured in battle attempt to ski across 125 kilometres of harsh, unforgiving terrain to reach the Magnetic North Pole.
