About Pole to Pole – The Photographs

Pole to Pole with Michael Palin is an eight-part television BBC documentary travel series, first broadcast on BBC 1 from 21 October to 9 December 1992, and presented by comedian and actor Michael Palin. The programme is the sequel to Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin, and was the second of Palin's major journeys, the series focusing on a journey along the 30-degree east line of longitude from the North Pole to the South Pole, sticking to using mainly cars, buses, trains and ships to make the five-month journey, while travelling through northern and eastern Europe, and Africa; a last-minute change of plans led to the journey diverting through South America, in order to reach Antarctica.
