Frozen North: Sir Hubert's Forgotten Submarine Expedition

Sir Hubert Wilkins was one of the most successful polar explorers of all times. In 1931 his Nautilus Expedition, for the first time in history, undertook the daring attempt to reach the North Pole by submarine. The documentary recounts the adventurous journey of an obsessed explorer who devoted his entire life to the exploration and research of the polar region.
70 Years later, we accompany oceanographer Hans Fricke on his search for the wreck of the Nautilus.
With a wealth of historical footage, modern re-enactments, and the help of a 1:1 steel model of the Nautilus, one of the last polar adventures of our time will be brought back to life.
Director: Hans & Sebastian Fricke

I’m really happy that in the end, Sir Hubert reached the North Pole by Submarine. It was quite the Honor to have his Ashes Spread at the North Pole. That was a fitting end to a Great Man and Explorer. Thank You to the U.S. Navy for doing that.😁👍👍❤️

It's always a psychopath chasing fame and glory. Just like the Ocean Gate Submersible death trap.

11:55 - judge it by its time. Would you be brave enough to do something this adventurous? I doubt it.

[@drips1030]

@@magnetiktrax No i most definitely would not like to go that far under the ice in it. No! Quite happy about that too. It's got nothing about not being that adventurous lol. Like a death trap that thing. I think they were very lucky to come out of it alive.
