Recently I've come across another great modern explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes. In a interview he did with BBC's Top Gear (Season 4 episode 9) we really see a great man. Cultured and shaped from a life of adversity. Maybe I'm speaking too freely of him, but through his dry wit, past accomplishments and the striking grief caused recently deceased wife. We see in a short while, a man with a strong sense of pride, strict morals and a broad emotional palette. Honorable qualities, indeed. I found the part where he discusses his wife so saddening, that I've posted it below.
