In this episode Gus explores the truly extraordinary pristine Fiordland – a place Maori call Ata Whenua – the Shadowland. Fiordland National Park covers an incredible 5% of New Zealand’s total land area and is also one of the wettest locations, with seven meters of rain annually–three times as much as the Amazon Basin. Ancient glaciers carved up this massive landscape and in doing so, created hundreds of canyons…making the area a haven for canyoners. Gus’s first mission is a world first - abseiling the full 161 meter length of Bowen Falls
