RTD crew has visited many distant corners all around the world, in search for the most extraordinary stories. Some of those that our correspondents witness are fun, some dramatic, and some of them may be even scary and shocking. Here’s RTD’s Top-10 of such moments.

I am Hunter

Lost, Russian Style

RT correspondent Paula Slier started her journey in order to find out information about her relatives that died during the Holocaust. This led her to spending the whole night inside the walls of Auschwitz concentration camp.

Ebola Warriors

Disturbing images of taking the dead bodies from their relatives have become a part of paramedics’ daily work in Liberia during the Ebola outbreak. As well as the feeling that one inaccurate step can also bring them this incurable disease.

Dozens of men stepping into the sea and the water turning into red in a few seconds – that is the traditional Faroe Islands whale hunt. RTD attended and filmed this annual mass killing tradition.
