For more than three decades, National Geographic has set the standard for spellbinding TV documentaries of exploration and discovery. Now you can experience these landmark adventures into the unknown in this collector's DVD.

Join the first American expedition as they conquer Everest, enter an undersea world of danger and beauty with Jacques-Ives Cousteau, and observe the historic discovery of fossils of early humans with Louis and Mary Leakey.

Witness National Geographic filmmakers as they capture the mystery and wonder of wildlife around the world, joining scientists of the highest reputation, such as Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall to reveal never-before-seen animal behaviour.

See also how the delicate rhythms of the natural world are being disturbed by the advance of human culture. 30 Years Of National Geographic Specials is a visual saga of mankind's quest for knowledge with a chilling insight: to better understand our planet must now be our primary goal.

Presented by Richard Kiley
Produced by the National Geographic Society (1995)
