National Geographic’s critically acclaimed documentary series EXPLORER has returned with all new episodes every Monday night at 10/9c. Albert Lin is very literally a high-tech explorer and correspondent for National Geographic EXPLORER. Having become part-man, part-machine due to the recent addition of a high-tech prosthetic leg, Lin explores what he calls the “human frontier.”



We know that there would be no life on earth without plants … they provide food, clothing, shelter, medicine, fuels, air and water. But what might surprise you is that new research has revealed trees can talk to each other. Correspondent Albert Lin has gone to great heights – in the wilds of British Columbia - to get to the root of this amazing phenomenon.




Getting to Mars will be hell on your body. In deep space, human muscles break down, brains swell, and there are limited protections against radiation bombardment. But if humans can take a cue from the fat-tailed dwarf lemur and hibernate for the nine-month journey, we’d not only survive long trips into deep space—we’d thrive. Explorer joins astronauts, medical researchers, and a colony of bug-eyed lemurs to unlock the human potential for deep space torpor.
