For his Amazon journey, Bird crossed South America from ocean to ocean, tracing the course of the Amazon River. En route he told the story of the region and how it plays a crucial role in global warming and environmental change. For his Ganges trek, Bird took a path from the sea to the river's source, battling from the Bay of Bengal to the Himalayas along the river.^[2] In the Arctic, filmed in 2008, Bird met the Inuit community in Grise Fiord, Nunavut.^[3]
