A great documentary but wrong in the fact that Roald Amundsen's was not the first to discover the NorthWest Passage. He may have been the first to actually sail through the passage. It was actually Sir Robert John Le Mesurier McClure (28 January 1807 - 17
October 1873)
He actually published a book titled 'The Discovery of the North west Passage' in 1854 and was awarded 10,000 pounds from UK Government. McClure strait is named after him.
