Ed Stafford: Left For Dead

Ed starts his journey in a tidal mangrove system in Madagascar. As the waters race in, he struggles to reach a fishing village in 10 days.

Ed is dropped by helicopter on a mountain peak in southern Bulgaria's mighty Rhodope Mountains.

Ed is dropped in the vast, remote Altai Mountains. He faces ferocious winds and freezing temperatures to reach a nomadic settlement on the Russian frontier.

Laos is home to stunning landscapes, sheer limestone cliffs and mysterious hidden valleys. It's also littered with thousands of landmines left in the wake of the Indo-China War. And this is the land Ed needs to conquer.

With only the sun for navigation and no obvious food source, Ed must rely on his survival experience and ingenuity to survive the Bolivian Atacama Desert, the highest, driest desert in the world outside of the polar regions.

Dropped on Panama's Pacific coast, Ed faces a grueling 10-day hike through the Darien Gap, one of the most dangerous stretches of jungle in the world. It's home to deadly wildlife and used as a drug-runners' thoroughfare.
