MOUNTAIN:M LIFE AT THE EXTREME, 9 9PM, BBC2

UNEXPLORED, unforgiving and unpredictable, the world’s great mountain ranges are inhospitable places of indescribable beauty. Yet, a few extraordinary animals and equally extraordinary people make their homes high above the clouds. This astonishing three-part series explores life in the highest places on Earth. Future episodes capture life in the Andes and the Himalayas, but it starts with the Rockies, the 3,000-mile spine of North America, a vast wilderness stretching as far as the eye can see, where wolverine and bighorn sheep are among the creatures striving to survive.
