第一集　破冰 　本片开头是乔纳森·丁布尔比在北极圈里的苔原上驾车的情景。此时正值俄罗斯短暂夏天中的极昼季节，冰雪融化，太阳不落。现在，在乔纳森·丁布尔比眼前有一段一万英里长的艰苦路途，他要穿越的这个国家不仅是世界上最大的，而且或许也是最令人敬畏的。第二集　两个世界 　　如今，如果说俄罗斯的活力是在城市，那么这个国家永恒的精神是在乡村。在本集的开头，乔纳森·丁布尔比参加了一场麦当娜音乐会的招待会，莫斯科的任何人都可以出席，包括一位高级餐厅的老板Arkady Novikov。第二天乔纳森乘火车来到了一个截然不同的世界：列夫·托尔斯泰的故居。他可以说是俄国最伟大的一位作家。第三集　祖国 　伏尔加河是俄罗斯人爱国情怀的象征，它流经莫斯科，通过俄国的心脏，最后注入里海。几次巨大争斗和变革都发生在它的沿岸。离阿斯特拉罕港不远有一个规模很小的村庄，那儿曾经是金帐汗国的...

　　At the Edge of the World chronicles the controversial Sea Shepherd Antarctic Campaign against a Japanese whaling fleet. The international volunteer crew, under-trained and under-equipped, develop a combination of bizarre and brilliant tactics with which to stop the whalers. But first they must find the Japanese ships, a far more difficult challenge than ever imagined - long-time activist Paul Watson and first-time captain Alex Cornelissen employ an array of strategies in the hopes of finding an elusive adversary in the vast expanse of the Ross Sea. With one ship (the Farley Mowat) too slow to chase down the whaling fleet, with their second ship (the Robert Hunter) unsuited for Antarctic ice conditions and with no country supporting their efforts to enforce international law, the situation becomes increasingly desperate. Against all odds, however, a real-life pirate tale unfolds - a modern-day "David vs. Goliath" adventure. Written by Dan Stone
