Some of descendants Ernest Shackleton and his crew are attempting to replicate the failed "Nimrod" Antarctic trek of 1908 and reach the South Pole.
Of course, Shackleton is best known for his 1914 Endurance expedition that is known as one of if not the greatest survival stories of all time.
28 crew members trapped on the ice flows of the Weddell Sea for almost 2 years, and they were all rescued. Remarkable.

Just catching up on your blog after a long absence. I read the book and saw the movie about Shackelton and the crew of the Endurance. You are so right that it is one of the greatest survival stories ever! What they went through was horrendous and grueling. It was amazing that they all made it. Well worth watching or reading about.
