Summary

Peter Hillary's father, Sir Edmund Hillary, was the first person to climb Mt. Everest. Mark Armstrong's father, Neil Armstrong, was the first person to walk on the moon. Now, the two sons of iconic explorers are going on an adventure together to the North Pole. A new film documents this journey, and a parallel journey their fathers took together in 1985. The working title of the documentary is North Pole '85, and was produced by an Icelandic film crew.
