Sir Ernest Shackleton was the epitome of a polar explorer. His first expedition was with Captain Scott who in 1903 sent him home resulting in a rift between the two men. He made an unsuccessful attempt for the South Pole in 1907, then returned to the Antartic in 1914 to lead an ambitious expedition to cross the Antarctic. His ship Endurance became trapped in ice resulting in the most incredible struggle for survival. Shackleton would lead 28 men to safety after an 800-mile voyage in a lifeboat. Presenter, writer and broadcaster Andrew Lound tells Shackleton’s story accompanied by music, images, video and sound effects. All the drama and fight for survival is here in an uplifting retelling of the famous voyage.
