Julian Monroe Fisher - Adventurer & Explorer

"Dream big, and dare to fail."

Colonel Norman Dane Vaughan, December 19, 1905 – December 23, 2005, was an American dogsled driver and explorer whose first claim to fame was participating in Admiral Byrd's first expedition to the South Pole. He also mushed in a professional capacity as part of a search and rescue unit in World War II, in sporting events like the Olympics and the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, and in three Presidential Inauguration ceremonies.

The team were credited by The Ugandan Wildlife Authority for establishing a new trekking route down from the mountain range along the Lamya/Lamia River to the Semliki River and on to Lake Albert, proving conclusively that the Rwenzori glaciers are indeed a true source of the River Nile.
