First Crossings (TV Series)

Aroview: This rugged adventure series literally retraces the steps of New Zealand's pioneer explorers in the intrepid, no-holds-barred style of "Man vs. Wild".

On foot and in accurate period attire, hosts Kevin Biggar and Jamie Fitzgerald tackle such treacherous journeys as the earliest route across the Southern Alps, the first ascent of Mt de la Beche, and the tourist pass through Fiordland’s Darran Mountains. Five episodes.
