Will Smith has taken on an extraordinary journey of exploration with the new National Geographic original series, Pole to Pole. Five years in the making, the series follows the actor across seven continents, taking him from the ice fields of Antarctica to the jungles of the Amazon, from the Himalayas to the deserts of Africa, the islands of the Pacific, and the icebergs of the Arctic.
Shedding light on the experience, Smith said, “This journey was unlike anything I’ve ever done. At times, I feared I might not make it home! It’s an exploration not just of the planet’s edges, but of some of the most extraordinary people living there. From the coldest ice to the deepest jungles, the beauty of our world inspired my every step with awe and hope.”
As part of the adventure, the actor threw himself into incredible challenges for 100 days. In the primary episode of the documentary, he will be seen heading to the South Pole where he will ski and trek across giant ice fields. During the second episode, Smith will venture deep into the Ecuadorian Amazon in search of deadly creatures. In the final episode, he will be seen joining local Waorani elder Penti Baihua in the Amazon, in search of the world’s biggest snake: the giant green anaconda.
