So far I've seen the first three episodes.
Ah yes, in pursuit of the fabled North West Passage. A waterway linking the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This series describes a tortuous journey into the icy waters North of Canada's Hudson Bay.

Can you say Burrrrr!
Ice so thick it takes explosives to break it. (they didn't have dynamite yet)
Aboard ship, scurvy haunts the crew. Out on the ice are creatures not yet fully understood by the civilized world. Death follows the two ships as they become ice-bound. (like I said, I'm only up to episode 3)
I'll see this one through.
It's a mix of ships procedures interupted by sudden catastrophic events. Don't let the momentary calm deceive you. Grizzly death is just a moment away.
Time period is 1840's. The ships are of the sailing type. Perhaps the most majestic sailing ships ever made as yet unable to set sail.
