On the Trail of Genghis Khan – The Last Frontier
On an epic journey of truly historic proportions, Australian Tim Cope, his band of horses and his dog Tigon travel 10,000 km over land from Mongolia to Hungary, following the footsteps of legendary warrior and nomad Genghis Khan. Cope visits distant parts of the world rarely seen, places on the cusp of modernity yet proud of nomadic traditions. The Last Frontier captures the culmination of his stunning three-year journey: the crossing of the Carpathian Mountains.
(Tim Cope, 2011)
Kadoma
“Kadoma” is the nickname for Hendri Coetzee, a legendary South African kayaker who is known for exploring some of Africa’s wildest rivers. In December 2010, American pro kayakers Chris Korbulic and Ben Stookesbury followed Coetzee into the Democratic Republic of the Congo for a first descent of the dangerous Lukuga River. Seven weeks into the expedition, tragedy struck.

The Freedom Chair

Dueck's dream is to tackle the backcountry and the steepest and wildest mountains in the world – and with his infectious outlook, he may just catch his dream.
