Vanished Beyond the Map

Hubert Darrell, a prospector who had been swept up in the Klondike Gold Rush, later made his name as an expert guide, trapper, and as a restless and courageous wanderer. His bravery was respected by famous explorers all over the world, including Roald Amundsen, (the first person to reach the South Pole,) and like his bravery, his disappearance was felt around the globe. Once a world renowned explorer, now vanished, and the remnants of his legacy also vanished from history books, ironically, just as surely as he had in the wild.

Using clues in his letters, journals, and hand drawn maps, Canada’s greatest modern-day explorer - Adam Shoalts, ventures into the arctic wilderness to solve the mystery of Hubert Darrels disappearance, a mystery over 100 years old. Adam takes on Hubert Darrell's forgotten routes, searching for cabin ruins, old campsites and elderly individuals, hoping to find someone who’d known of or heard of Darrell. Vanished Beyond the Map combines historical research and expeditions to solve one of exploration history’s greatest cold cases—the mystery of Hubert Darrell.
