DOCUMENTARY
The world's first expedition to the Arctic was in 1845. Some 129 men led by British explorer John Franklin set off on two ships to navigate the Northwest Passage, a sea lane between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Arctic Ocean. But the excitement of this quest soon turned to concern and intrigue, when the ships vanished without a trace. Now, a team of explorers sets out to trace Franklin's route. Their adventure will be documented in Lost in the Arctic, the latest episode in National Geographic's Explorer series, which will stream on Disney+ and Hulu from August 25.
Computing the Climate: How We Know What We Know About Climate Change Accurate climate models have existed since the 1800s. Learn how these models have developed - and why we should believe them.

Migrant workers are assets
MIGRATION HAS turned into a potent tool of political warfare across the world. For over a decade, domestic electoral politics across regions, from Europe and North America to Asia and Africa, have fuelled anti-immigration sentiments. This is also increasingly fuelling anti-immigrant vigilantism, as seen widely across Europe in 2015-16, coinciding with the refugee crisis.
