Jon Muir, whose adventures include climbing Mt. Everest, trekking the North and South poles, and remote sea kayaking, challenges himself to complete the first unsupported crossing of Australia. This trip stretches 1600 miles (South to North) and 128 days without navigational technology or stopping to resupply.[1]

[edit] Production
Much of the entire movie was filmed by Muir during the trek. This was not Muir's first attempt, earlier ones were ended by injury or weather.[2]
