There's a series showing on SBS at the moment called Lost Worlds- Voyages of Discovery {7.30pm Saturday} that's well worth checking out. The first two episodes where about Ferdinand Magellan and James Cook and the Sunday just been was about Fridtjof Nansen and his story of being the first to get to the north pole { fascinating tale of exploration and survival http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fridtjof_Nansen}. Worth tuning in :)
