Ben Fogle came into the public eye as a cast member of the popular show,
Castaway 2000
. During the BBC series, he participated in an experiment, which saw thirty-six participants marooned on an island in Scotland for a year. He parlayed that experience and his newfound notoriety into work as a television personality for Disney, BBC, National Geographic, and Discovery. Hosting a variety of programs focusing on nature, Fogle became a regular fixture on television. From
Animal Park
to
Wild in Africa
, Fogel informed the world about the hidden secrets of destinations around the globe.
Moving from in front of the camera to behind the scenes, Fogle began producing programming and taking more control over the content he represented to the world. He documented an expedition to the South Pole to recognize the trip made by Captain Robert Falcoln Scott's expedition a century previous.
Fogle has written and published nine books, including
Race to the Pole, Inspire, The Teatime Islands, and The Accidental Adventurer.
His literary works help global readers to understand nature and how to live in it. He's also written for globally recognized publications, such as
The Guardian, the New York Times, the Daily Mail,
and
Glamour
magazine.
