Alex Honnold Meets Dr. Bruce In Explorer: The Last Tepui [EXCLUSIVE CLIP]
Screen Rant has an exclusive clip from Disney+'s upcoming Earth Day special, "Explorer: The Last Tepui," produced by National Geographic. Premiering on April 22 to promote the conversation of the planet, this one-hour experience follows elite climber Alex Honnold (who gained a great deal of notoriety from the 2018 documentary film, Free Solo) and National Geographic Explorer Mark Synnott (who already appeared in a previous NatGeo release, Lost on Everest) into the heart of the Amazon and up a 1000-foot cliff.
Their team of world-class climbers, led by Synnott, has one very important goal: to deliver extraordinary biologist Bruce Means to the top of a tepuis. Essentially a giant island in the sky, the tepuis is home to many previously undiscovered animal species, and the latest environmental adventure is centered on making some of them known to audiences and explorers alike - if they can make it safely through the miles of treacherous jungle terrain first.
