Here’s the first-look trailer for Disney+/ National Geographic Earth Day special Explorer: The Last Tepui. This one arrives quite soon, towards the end of the month on April 22nd. The one-hour special is another of those edge-of-your-seat mountain climbing numbers of which we’ll always be up for watching.
The synopsis is as follows:
The Disney+ Earth Day special “Explorer: The Last Tepui,” from National Geographic, follows elite climber Alex Honnold (“Free Solo”) and a world-class climbing team led by National Geographic Explorer and climber Mark Synnott on a grueling mission deep in the Amazon jungle as they attempt a first-ascent climb up a 1000 foot sheer cliff. Their goal is to deliver legendary biologist and National Geographic Explorer Bruce Means to the top of a massive “island in the sky” known as a tepui. The team must first trek miles of treacherous jungle terrain to help Dr. Means complete his life’s work, searching the cliff wall for undiscovered animal species. The one-hour special is the newest installment of National Geographic’s long-running “Explorer” series. This Earth Day, learn why the tepuis – much like the Galapagos – are a treasure trove of biodiversity worth protecting.
As we said, this one hits on 22nd April.
Here’s the trailer.
