      Shown in the USA in February 2006 as a double episode of NOVA. The first part, "Arctic Passage: Prisoners of the Ice, was re-edited and new footage added; the second part, "Ice Survivors," is essentially identical.

    We Need To See The Original Version!
    I did not realize that we watched in the States was essentially a re-edited version of this documentary!

    The part about Amudsen is unchanged. However, I have always been more interested in the Franklin Expedition and that was the part I wanted to see.

    Still, even re-edited with scenes left out, Artic Passage was still a fine telling of this tragic tale. I only wish it would have been shown in its original form here in the States. I can't help but feel somewhat cheated.

    If only this would be available so those who watched the NOVA re-edited edition could see it as it was meant to be.
