In The Cima Grande Expedition, Steve Backshall and his team prepare to climb Cima Grande in Italy’s Dolomites, aiming for the south face of the 2,999-meter peak. With only 12 hours to summit and return before snow hits, they must deal with falling rocks and melting snow from the sun. The day before the climb, they scout the mountain, awed by its size and getting mentally ready for the challenge. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Steve Backshall vs. the Vertical Mile, a show in which Steve and his team take on one of the deadliest mountain climbs in the world — the north face of the Eiger.
The article "New Computer Model Helps Predict Volcano Eruptions More Accurately" from BBC's Science Focus details how scientists have created a model that improves eruption forecasts. By analyzing historical data from Italy’s Campi Flegrei, the model enhances predictions and helps in disaster preparedness.
