Early
explorers set out to chart a world that had yet to be discovered.
Thousands of years later, we’ve mapped the world, crossed the globe and
seen it all. So what inspires the modern explorer? Human curiosity. We
know a lot about the planet, but not a lot about each other.
Exploring
Horizons finds those places where civilization moved in without taking
over and where, for generations, communities have been shaped by their
natural environments.The remote reaches of Patagonia, the ancient
medinas of North Africa and the isolated Sub-Arctic frontier all have
one thing in common: it’s the people that make them unique in the ways
they experience life.
In these isolated pockets of civilization, Flight is often a lifeline to the outside world. It’s also a means to explore.The Exploring Horizons aerial perspective extends far past the usual boundaries. Flyers of all varieties share their favorite flightpaths,and from the open air cockpit of the Exploring Horizons ultralight, it’s a gateway to a different world.
Far Out
Destinations, Unusual Perspectives, Fascinating Storytellers, together,
these elements achieve a unique portrait of each place and inspire us
to see our world through different eyes. Exploring Horizons looks at
what brings us together as people, what sets us apart as individuals
and what ignites our passion to explore.

As the Co-creator/Producer of EXPLORING HORIZONS (Discovery International, Travel UK, Outdoor Life Network Canada, etc.) Alen Milic filmed all 39 episodes. The production involved transporting an ultra-lite plane to each remote location, which allowed the crew to capture aerial footage of some of the most inaccessible regions of the globe.
The most challenging footage was filmed from the open cockpit of the 2-seater ultra-lite on locations like: over the desolate peaks of the Andes near the Patagonian frontier; the barren Atacama Desert in Chile, the driest desert in the world; the remote Athabasca Sand Dunes in Northern Canada; the rugged and wild terrain of British Columbia’s interior; the sub-arctic landscape of the Yukon Territory; the dense canopy of the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, the last remaining primary rain-forest along Central America’s Pacific Coast, etc.
