Will Smith Embarks on Uncharted Journey in New National Geographic Show "Pole to Pole"
In an upcoming seven-part travel series, Will Smith takes audiences on an extraordinary adventure traversing the globe's most unforgiving landscapes. Dubbed "Pole to Pole," the documentary-style show follows Smith as he delves into the unexplored regions of all seven continents over a period of 100 days.
Starting at the South Pole and culminating at the North Pole, Smith embarks on an epic journey that pushes him out of his comfort zone. Along the way, he works alongside experts in their respective fields, including scientists, linguists, Indigenous people, and explorers, who guide him through each destination. From the frozen tundra to lush rainforests, each stop presents daunting challenges in pursuit of groundbreaking discoveries.
In Bhutan, Smith ascends to a village perched at an astonishing 13,000 feet above sea level. He then dives into icy waters in the Arctic, braving the freezing temperatures to collect ecological samples. In Ecuador, he catches a massive green anaconda and extracts one of its scales to measure pollutants in the water. His most unlikely adventure takes him rappelling into a cave network to milk tarantulas for their venom – a feat that has significant medical implications, despite Smith's confessed phobia of spiders.
Throughout his odyssey, Smith grapples with profound questions about humanity's place on the planet. "Pole to Pole" delves into the human condition, exploring what brings people happiness and how communities can thrive in even the most inhospitable environments.
"I'm surrounded by nothing but silence," Smith reflects in a trailer for the series. "It's like I can be myself – flawed and scared." This introspective journey has profoundly altered his perspective on the world, and he credits traveling from pole to pole with changing how he sees himself.
"Pole to Pole" premieres on National Geographic January 13th, followed by streaming on Hulu and Disney+. The documentary series promises to take viewers on a captivating ride of adventure, discovery, and self-discovery.

i mean can you imagine bein in the arctic with nothin but ice and snow all around u? 
will smith talkin about humanity's place on earth is somethin that's really close to my heart, feels like we need to get back to nature a bit more. and rappellin into caves for tarantula venom is straight up crazy lol what if he had gotten bitten tho? 
... Will Smith just happens to embark on an epic journey to all the poles at the same time? Coincidence? I don't think so 
... Think about it, what's the real motive behind this trip? Is it just about exploration and self-discovery or is there something more sinister going on 
... Maybe he's being manipulated by some shadowy organization to get us to pay attention to climate change or something 
... And have you noticed how conveniently he gets to meet all these experts at each stop? It's like they're setting him up for something big 
... I'm not saying it's a conspiracy theory, but I do think there's more to this show than meets the eye 
...
. but what i'm really excited about is how he's exploring these extreme environments and meeting people who live in harmony with nature. it's all about perspective, you know? like, what brings us happiness when we're surrounded by nothing but silence 
. can't wait to check out this docu-series on Nat Geo, might just change my perspective too 
I'm all about this "Pole to Pole" show! Will Smith's journey is like, totally inspiring 
, you know? Like, he's not just traveling from point A to point B, he's actually diving into the depths of each continent and learning about its people, cultures, and ways of life. It's like, super humbling, you know? I mean, we think our lives are crazy when we're stuck in traffic or dealing with everyday stress, but Will Smith is out there facing polar bears, treacherous terrain, and his own phobias ( spider-phobia? 
. I'm definitely tuning in to this show on January 13th – can't wait to see what other adventures Will Smith has in store for us 
That's some next-level adventure right there! What I'm most looking forward to is how his journey changes him personally – it's amazing that he's using this experience to figure out what makes us happy and fulfilled. January 13th can't come soon enough! 
Will Smith is going on a wild adventure, but is it just a publicity stunt? 
This show sounds like it's trying to be some kind of inspirational trip, but at what cost? 
Is he really putting himself in harm's way for our entertainment? 
And what about all those experts he's working with? Are they being paid off or is this just a coincidence? 
I need to see some sources on this before I start believing the hype... 
.
. So yeah, I'm definitely gonna be checking out "Pole to Pole" when it drops 
. The idea of him rappelling into a cave network to get tarantula venom is literally insane
