Their exploration also takes them to some of the most dangerous places on earth, including active volcanoes, the Amazon jungle, and the treacherous mountains of Patagonia. But no matter the destination or how difficult the journey, Jess, Chris, and Gary always embrace the spirit of the trailblazers who came before them and continue to discover and share the beauty of our planet with the world.

In addition to showcasing stunning landscapes, Trailblazers also delves into the science and history behind the environments the team explores. Jess Phoenix, in particular, provides expert insights on volcanoes, earthquakes, and other geological phenomena that shape our planet.
