INTREPID West Buckland-based explorer Dom Mee is being featured in a new TV documentary.

Into the Unknown is about his two most recent expeditions in the frozen wastes of the Arctic and will be broadcast on the National Geographic channels next week.

Dom risked his life during 2003 and 2004, following in the footsteps of heroic Victorian explorer Sir John Ross.

"I am thrilled that National Geographic has given me the opportunity to provide a window into two years Arctic exploration," he said.
