Description
On the 29th of October 1908, a party of four men, led by Ernest Shackleton, set out to be the first to reach the South Pole. Just 97 miles from they were forced to turn back. One hundred years on, a team led by Henry Worsley, set out from Shackleton's hut to celebrate the centenary of his expedition by retracing the exact 870 mile route and going on to finish the last 97 miles. This is the story of the original expedition and its failure, while also capturing the meticulous planning, fundraising and training for the new expedition.
