Shackleton: Stranded at the End of the World

Their ship was crushed. Their supplies were dwindling. And nobody knew where they were.
In 1914, Ernest Shackleton and the crew of Endurance set out to cross Antarctica. Instead, their expedition became a desperate struggle to get home.
Trapped in pack ice, forced to camp on drifting floes, and eventually stranded on remote Elephant Island, the men faced one ordeal after another. Their chance of rescue rested on a small wooden lifeboat, an extraordinary navigator, and a journey across some of the roughest seas on Earth.
In this episode of History on Repeat, Luke Carroll follows Shackleton, Frank Wild, Frank Worsley and the expedition’s doctors through a remarkable story of endurance, leadership and men depending on one another when everything else had failed.
Featuring archival photographs by expedition photographer Frank Hurley, maps and illustrative footage.
