Episode list

These intrepid explorers of the great outdoors are finding new ways to engage with our magnificent planet. In the first episode of "That's Amazing," meet two pilots who circle the globe in a solar-powered plane, extreme swimmers who are battling for their lives as they race toward the finish line, and a man who turns high altitude blizzards into giant works of art.

Mankind and the elements: for some, it's an uncomfortable bond. For others, when weather strikes, inspiration begins. In the second episode of "That's Amazing," we meet people who challenge nature, seek out its limits, reveal its secrets and embrace its awesome power. First, join a daring photographer determined to capture the heart of the storm. Then, explore the depths of the earth with a man who hopes to one day reach distant moons. And finally, climb aboard the fastest sailboat in the world as a team of elite sailors attempt to shatter a historic record.

The Earth needs champions-people willing to go to great heights (and depths) in order to conserve the natural world. In the third episode of "That's Amazing," we meet a team of diver-scientists who stay underwater for weeks at a time in the name of science, a biologist growing millions of trees to plant them across the devastated forests of the American West and an extraordinarily gifted rock balancer.

We can all find small ways to make our world a better place. In the fourth episode of "That's Amazing"' we meet: a boar hunter preserving tradition and protecting birds in the wettest place on earth, an artist who transforms toxic sludge into works of art, and a group of scientists working to save the Joshua Tree from a warming climate.

Meet a team of sailors who are racing up the treacherous coastline of the Pacific Northwest with no motor and no support, a group of volunteers who risk their lives to save people stranded on glaciers and volcanoes, and a wing suit base jumper who is the fastest flying woman in the world.

Meet an explorer scaling peaks in the most remote edges of the world, a surf photographer who braved violent conditions and almost constant darkness to capture the perfect image under the northern lights, and an artist who created the world's first underwater sculpture museum.

Meet a team of imaginative Foley artists creating unique sounds for motion pictures, a Hawaiian family who has made world class ukuleles from rare koa trees for decades, a pair of artists creating lifelike portraits with grass, and two brothers who bike in some of the most extreme environments known to man.

Meet two sisters whose ambitious science experiment took them up and out of this world, a woman climbing to outrageous heights in order to clean the nation's wind turbines, and a photographer wading in the icy waters of the Great Lakes to shoot "liquid mountains."
