The programme is the result of 40 cameramen at work across 200 locations through five years and has been produced on a budget of Rs 100 crore.

The highlight of the show is the length and breadth of the globe it traverses. It boasts of covering tropical rainforests, poisonous caves across continents, wildlife, the remotest habitats, the interiors of volcanoes and the core of the earth.

Deepak Shourie, EV-P and managing director, Discovery Networks India, says, “This series will take viewers through a journey of unimaginable scale that will be unforgettable.”
