In the Steps of Shackleton

Acclaimed mountaineer Stephen Venables has twice repeated Shackleton’s famous crossing of South Georgia. One of the great epics of exploration, Shackleton’s treacherous expedition to cross Antarctica via the South Pole is a tale of escape and miraculous survival. Forced to set out in a lifeboat in search of help after his ship was crushed in the Antarctic ice, Shackleton made a sixteen day voyage 800 miles across reached the whaling station of Stromness where he was able to summon a successful rescue his remaining 22 companions. Now he talks about his experiences.
