Trivia:
One cameraman showed signs of hypoxia (lack of oxygen) at 7000 meters above sea level while filming in the Himalaya. The pilot of the airplane instantly decided to fall down 3000 meters in height. The second cameraman didn't realize any of the problems before so he asked, completely surprised, why the pilot ruined his perfect shot.

After watching this second episode, I couldn't help but think back and shake my head over one basic fact: there is no safe place on earth. It's tough enough being a human, but more scary being an animal, bird or fish. There are predators: everywhere, who strike like a bullet and rip you pieces.
Even high above the earth's surface, way up in the Himalyaya where eagles attack migrating birds or literally on high peaks where you would think no one else could survive, we witness Ibex getting stalked and eaten by the rare and beautiful snow leopards!
Most of all, though, this episode provides us with spectacular mountain scenery with jagged peaks like you can't believe. The formations on some of these mountains are incredible. It's amazing that creatures can live and move around in these jagged remote areas.
