Episode 4 explores the life of Gertrude Bell; 19th century born explorer, archeologist, linguist, photographer, author, mountaineer and world war one spy. Gertrude is a fascinating individual, standing out as one of the greatest scholars on the Middle East in her age. Often forgotten and overlooked, she is not as famous as her friend Laurence of Arabia. Bell should be considered a true Queen of the Desert. From walking 1800 miles under the hot sun to soloing uncharted mountains in the alps, Bell proves that with a great mindset and an open heart you can achieve anything.
