Viasat’s reliable L-band network connected extreme athlete and explorer Ash Dykes and his team during their record-breaking expedition in Suriname, South America.
Ash Dykes is an explorer, extreme athlete, and five-time World Record holder. He has undertaken many adventures, whether solo-hiking across Mongolia in 2014 or becoming the first person to complete a 4,000-mile hike along China’s Yangtze River in 2020.
Ash's latest mission, Uncharted: Suriname, started with a helicopter drop into the remote jungle with his team. They scaled the depths of the jungle, reached the highest mountainous peak, found an unexplored river's source, and kayaked its length - battling raw nature at every step of the journey.
