A British couple are trying to become the first people to sea kayak 1,000 miles around the remote & windswept island of ‘Tierra del Fuego’ at the end of the world. Shipping delays, a stolen kayak & endless red tape challenge them on land while incessant winds, rough seas & tendonitis threaten their safety & success on the water. Glaciers tumble into the sea in this wild & beautiful landscape where sea lions, whales & albatrosses far outnumber people. Share the highs and lows of this challenging world-first adventure, while meeting some of the interesting people who survive in this harsh environment.
