SOMERSET based explorer Dom Mee is featured in a new TV documentary.

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

Dom, who lives in West Buckland, 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 op-portunity to provide a window into two years' Arctic exploration," said Dom.
