2 . Those of you who have seen the amazing National Geographic documentary Free Solo will know just how fascinating it can be to watch a professional climber scale the side of a mountain.

A new documentary, Explorer: The Last Tepui, shares a lot with Free Solo, which won the 2019 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Not only does it star rock climber Alex Honnold, it also shows him hanging off the side of a mountain in precarious positions that will make your stomach drop in extreme fear.

While his athletic achievements are amazing, Honnold isn’t the most appealing character in the film. That honor goes to Bruce Means, who has spent his academic career finding new species throughout South America to prove to the world that the area is a biodiversity hot spot to be protected at all costs. In Explorer:The Last Tepui, the 80-year-old ecologist decides to climb the 300-plus metres to the peak of the Tepui, deep in Guyana’s Amazon rainforest.

Means, Honnold, leader Mark Synnott and a world-class team of climbers have to hike 56 kilometres over 10 days across increasingly dangerous areas to reach the base of the Tepui. This is a very big deal because Means has problems with his knees. Once at the Tepui, Honnold and other team members plan to climb to the top and then pull Means up, which will allow him to explore the cliff wall for novel animal and plant species.

Unsurprisingly, because of the area they must cross to reach the Tepui, various major barriers soon get in the way of the party. The detailed descriptions of Means’ determination to overcome these challenges due to his age and health just add real suspense (悬念) to the documentary.

The constantly changing viewpoints and potentially life-threatening issues ensure that Explorer: The Last Tepui remains compelling (扣人心弦的) to the very end. Even though it is just 54 minutes long, you will still feel tired out, as well as inspired, by the time it is over.

5 . If you want to know information about different types of earphones, please click on the link we provide. Check out and find the suitable ones for your needs.

The earphones have six microphones and deliver a clear, crisp voice. They also let you change the default button functions on the earphones, which is excellent for runners who tend to touch the earphones while running. Thanks to the button, the earphones don’t move, even on sweaty runs, and they’re also water- and sweat-proof.

The pairs perfectly with any smartphone model have top-quality noise cancellation (取消). The earphones connect automatically when you take the earphones out of the slim charging case. It takes some time to adjust to the different tap commands and positions, but after some field testing, everything feels natural.

We love how quickly the earphones pair with our devices, including several laptops and smartphones—we don’t even need to refer to the instructions. They are extremely comfortable, even after hours of continuous use. The sound quality is also excellent.

The makers take the already successful earphones pros and upgrade nearly every aspect in the second generation. Sound is crisp and clear, whether listening to music or podcasts, or while on a call. The portable case also gets an upgrade.
