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.
