Welcome to our voyage of discovery. In this series we’ll be travelling to many hard to reach places. Some hidden from view entirely: deep waters, high skies, the vastness of space.

We’ll fly with a bee across a summer meadow all the way into her hive. Dive deep into the ocean to visit the miraculous Black Smokers. And we’ll even travel on the inside of a water molecule before it turns into a hailstone.

We’re on an extraordinary audio journey of imagination – to learn something fascinating about our world and gently relax or fall asleep along the way.

Let your mind wander and unwind.

Episode 1 - Journey into the Rainforest Canopy

This expedition will take us up high. We’ll be travelling from the jungle floor to the canopy of a tropical rainforest – where we'll meet sloths, capuchin monkeys and parrots. At a height of 40 to 60 metres, this is a world of its own. One of extreme heat tempered by hours of rain showers.

Episode 2 - Journey to the Black Smokers

This adventure doesn’t leave the planet, but we’ll be going all the way down to the miraculous ‘Black Smokers’ found deep under the sea. Once there we’ll be asking: could this be the source of all life on Earth?

Episode 3 - Journey into a Beehive

In this trip, we'll be joining a bee as she travels deep into her hive. We’ll discover how bees dance to explain directions and hear all about the unique preservative only these beautiful insects know the secret recipe for.

Episode 4 - Journey To The ISS

With a crew of three, this expedition will take us to the ISS, or International Space Station. Here we will uncover how astronauts live, eat and wash, up here in the nothingness of space.

Episode 5 - Journey into a Hail Cloud

This adventure is all about the weather and we’re going to have to get very small! We’re going to hitch a ride with a water molecule into a cloud of hailstones and take a close look at it from the inside. It might not always be comfortable, but don’t worry, we’ll keep you safe and sound.

Episode 6 - Journey into a Volcano

Now we’re going on a visit right into the heart of a volcano off the coast of Sicily. There are around 1500 active volcanoes on Earth. We’ll learn about magma chambers and vents and the power of red fiery lava.

Episode 7 - Journey into a Polar Bear's Fur

Our expedition takes us deep into a polar bear’s fur. We’re in the north of Greenland and it’s springtime. Here we’ll learn about the extraordinary ways a polar bear’s fur keeps it snuggly and warm despite the arctic conditions it survives in.

Episode 8 - A Space Voyage to A Red Dwarf

We’ll be going so far away for this adventure we’ll need a vehicle with a warp drive. We’re traveling to a star known as GJ 887, a so-called ‘Red Dwarf’. Get ready for a very speedy flight.

Episode 9 - Journey with the Grey Whales

On this trip, we’re going to accompany a pod of grey whales on their annual migration from the Arctic Sea to Mexico and back again. Our journey commences in the Gulf of California and we find ourselves inside a mussel that has made its home on the head of a whale.

Episode 10 - Journey to a lunar mountain

For this journey, we’re going to touch down on the moon before setting off to a lunar mountain. The ride in our lunar module will be dusty and bumpy, but we’ll learn about days and nights on the moon and experience a 5000m ascent with relative ease.

Episode 11 - Travelling on the back of a Golden Eagle

This expedition takes us to dizzying heights, flying high above the Bavarian Alps with an epic golden eagle. We’ll let ourselves be carried upwards by warm air currents and along sunlit mountain slopes. You’ll also experience how an eagle surprises its prey by diving at 200 kilometres per hour!

Episode 12 - Journey to the Centre of the Earth

An adventure to the interior of our planet! This unusual journey will take us through five different mile-thick layers of the Earth. To do this, we’ll first climb into the side vent of an active volcano.
