I recently watched the documentary "Explore the Arctic" directed by Marcus Ailia and produced by Daniel Leon, in collaboration with StrathCo Enterprises and Maxwell Endeavour. This film offers an intriguing insight into the history of Arctic exploration, tracing mankind's efforts to explore the region north of the Arctic Circle since 325 BC.

​

As the documentary highlights, exploration of the Arctic has been a perilous endeavor, fraught with danger due to the treacherous oceans and poor weather conditions. The film features breathtaking footage of explorers journeying through these perils, relying on sight, boats, and foot to traverse the harsh terrain.

​

One of the most significant events in the history of Arctic exploration was Robert Peary's claim to have reached the North Pole on April 6, 1909. While the veracity of his claim is disputed, with many modern explorers doubting that he could have reached the pole on foot in the time he claimed, Peary's achievement nonetheless marked a major milestone in Arctic exploration.

Watching "Explore the Arctic" was a fascinating experience that left me with a newfound appreciation for the courage and determination of Arctic explorers. As someone who enjoys watching movies set in winter or snowy environments, this documentary was an excellent addition to my watch list. The film's stunning cinematography and informative content made for an enjoyable and educational viewing experience.
