Waning Crescent Moon
Mystery of the Nile
Deep in Africa, a team of intrepid explorers has just triumphed in a landmark quest, completing one of the last great adventures of the modern age: running the full length of the Blue Nile, known as the Mt. Everest of rivers from its source in Ethiopia to the Mediterranean Sea. Astonishingly, this epic journey has eluded humankind for centuries-until now. Led by expedition leader Pascuale Scaturro, this tenacious group has become the first in history to conquer all 3,250 miles of the world’s greatest river, overcoming nearly insurmountable obstacles in the process: Class V and VI rapids, a crocodile attack, dangerous hippos, arrests by Ethiopian and Egyptian militia, gunfire from bandits, blinding sandstorms, malaria threats, and the relentless heat of the fierce Saharan sun.
