Adventures Gone Wrong

In May 2026, five experienced divers entered a deep underwater cave system in the Maldives. None of them came out alive.

This is the story of the Maldives cave diving tragedy, the rescue operation that followed, and the unanswered questions around why experienced ocean divers entered a cave they were not trained or equipped to escape.

In 1995, Swedish climber Göran Kropp loaded 200 pounds of gear into a bike trailer and started pedalling from Sweden toward Nepal. His plan was to ride to Everest, climb it alone without bottled oxygen, and ride home.

He arrived in the spring of 1996, the deadliest season in Everest's history.
This is the story of Göran Kropp: the bike ride, the climb, the disaster, and the decision that defined everything.

In 1991, a volcanologist said he didn't care if he died tomorrow. He meant it. This video is about three volcanoes and the scientists, researchers, and one very stubborn old man who knew exactly how dangerous they were, and went anyway.

In 1897, a Swedish engineer convinced a king, a Nobel Prize winner, and an entire nation to fund the most ambitious plan in exploration history, flying a hydrogen balloon to the North Pole. He had never tested the balloon in Arctic conditions. His steering system didn't work. He launched anyway.
What followed was 65 hours of chaos in the air, 87 days of brutal survival on the Arctic ice when they finally found land. But, after only four days on land, the three men were dead. Their frozen camp was discovered 33 years later and the mystery continued. They had full supplies, working weapons, and enough food to last for months.
This is the story of the Andrée expedition, the hubris, the crash, the march, and the 125 year old mystery nobody has been able to solve.

The north face of the Eiger had a reputation so bad it got a nickname.
Mordwand. The Murder Wall. 
By 1936, it had already killed several climbers, and nobody had ever made it to the top. Four young climbers - two German, two Austrian - decided they were going to be the ones to crack the Eiger’s north face. They were talented. They were experienced. 
And one decision in particular would make this one of the most witnessed - and most heartbreaking - disasters in mountaineering history.

This is the story of the 1936 Eiger disaster.
