Today on Far Future Horizons we explore the frigid wastes of Antarctica
with Sir Ernest Shackleton and the intrepid crew of Endurance.
Shackleton’s Antarctic Adventure is a documentary film
that tells the extraordinary true story of polar explorer Sir Ernest
Shackleton’s now-legendary 1914-1916 British Imperial Trans-Antarctic
Expedition. While never accomplishing its goal of the first crossing of the
Antarctic continent, this expedition has become a larger-than-life testament to
heroism and human endurance, with all 28 men surviving nearly two years in the
barren, frigid Antarctic when their ship, Endurance, was caught in pack ice and
eventually crushed.
