Are there any good movies or shows about the northwest passage?

I've recently watched 'The Terror' and am fascinated by the subject. I enjoy the scenery, the bleakness and harshness of the environment and the explorative subject matter.

I could do without supernatural elements, though.

The North Water is a great show with Colin Farrell and Jack O'Connell about a whaling expedition to the artic.

Oh, very interesting, thank you. That fits perfectly! I've gotta say, Colin Farrell is really growing on me. I used to think he was good in Belgium, but that's it - but no. I've really loved The Banshees of Inisherin and am looking forward to The Killing Of A Sacred Deer.

Sorry for the tangent

I second The North Water, it's going to scratch that itch for you nicely. Without supernatural.

Farrell is fantastic in it. A revelation.

Farrell and Gleeson is some kind of crazy magic infinity stones match up, they make just incredible stuff together.

Not the NW passage, but Shackleton definitely scratches that itch.

There's both fictionalized and documentary styled versions of the story.

The real dude:

Oh great, I've seen documentaries about Shackleton but this Mini series is exactly the stuff I am talking about. Thanks!
