It's really amazing there's actually real footage and photography from the Shackleton Expedition, still existing today. Not only that it lasted this long, especially with the troubles of preserving celluloid film stock, (way back then, in particular,) but mostly because they had the forethought and mindfulness to even think of bringing a photographer on board with them, before setting out. There aren't even photos from the Titanic, after leaving shore, anyway. And they were a ship full of tourists and travellers, from every conceivable economic status. And, only happened a couple of years prior to the Endurance Expedition in 1914/15. The only reason this wasn't just as well-known, at the time or since, is because World War I happened to be well under way by the time the men were finally rescued. Leaving their obvious story of human endurance and survival on page three, whilst things like the Titanic disaster happened in a much less busy time, when it wasn't competing with other more significant World events. The Shackleton Expedition might not have been as "viral," as the Titanic, but it would have at least made the "trending" list lol know what I mean?!? ✌😇 I mean, "posterity" is an understatement. 👍

Do you have some records on that expedition ? It would be great to make a document like the one here on this expedition.

I've always especially admired Amundsen. He was a smart man, ahead of his time in my opinion by living with the native people around the Pole, learning their language and realizing the extreme wisdom in adopting their mode of travel, clothing choices and other valuable survival techniques; he understood instinctively that the people who would know best how to deal with the unique landscape would be the people who *lived there.* I also respect his sleight of hand in changing his destination last minute! Lol. He knew people talk too much as a rule and that by keeping silent about your plans you were much more likely to be successful. Later in life people found him to be sort of aloof, but I always took that to me that he was quiet and usually mostly in his mind. He lived alone in what I found to be a beautiful, minimalist home with a lot of books before his untimely death. Maybe not untimely to him. I often think he died where he really lived.

The book Endurance by Alfred Lansing is a fine report of the logistics of the Shackleton expedition and captures the character of the men. Shackleton is revered and he was a magnificent leader but Frank Worsley, navigator, is equally if not more responsible for their survival. The book has a vivid, knowledgeable account of the Worsley's supernatural navigation skills in the worst conditions Antarctic could hand out. Blue water sailors Endurance is a must read.

But, our understanding of this ice-desert is impossibly more expansive. And all the scientists who are doing it stood on the shoulders of the men and women featured in this very documentary.

The decisive factor for Amundsen's success was IMO the months he spent with the inuit, learning what to wear, how to travel using the sled dogs, how to plan for nourishment of man and dog, etc. That's what gave him the edge over Shackleton and Scott. These two considered themselves the pinnacle of scientific knowledge, dismissing the inuit as inferior "savages" and disregarding the wealth of knowledge and centuries of experience that could be learned from them. In the end, it spelled success for Amundsen, half failure for "Shackles" and ultimate doom for Scott. Having said that, still, Shackles is my favourite for his personality and character. And the voyage of the Endurance is IMO the greatest story amongst those of polar expeditions.

Most other videos also rely on anti-Scott sources that have been largely debunked. From the late 70s to maybe mid 00s there was this tendency to dehumanize him, basically report every rumor as a fact if it attacks him (some of them were invention of one polar "historian" and have no other sources primary or otherwise). They wanted a villain, a personification of the sin of the Empire and this documentary isn't really different as it neglects to mention the abnormal weather, makes strange arguments regarding Scott's pick for the polar party (overestimating the choice of picking five man and implying Oates had no other merits other than being a pony man). I'm also not sure if anyone ever crossed the Beardmore Glacier with dogs but nevermind that. That hysteria is a result of trying to forcefully contrast him with Shackleton. If a book about polar expedition is about one explorer expect it to criticize another as if you can't be objective about all of them. Now there are more honest books about Scott (that those who only watch outdated documentaries don't know about) and it's Mawson who's the new target with one author not only calling him a horrible, useless leader but accusing him of pretty much murder. Again with very selective, weak arguments. Expect Shackleton, who was such a sacred cow in the 2000s, to be the next victim of character assassination because of his choices that lead to the Ross Sea Party tragedy. Or Amundsen because his decision not to take physicians on his journeys lead to death of at least one person. They all were great and all made mistakes but weren't monsters.

To call the segment on Shackleton's journey of survival "abridged" would be INCREDIBLY generous, as it hardly scrapes the surface of the hardship those men went through. From the frostbite, to being constantly wet and cold, to sleeping in a shoddy tent on a muggy floor covered in penguin guano (and much more), none of this is brought up in the video. Furthermore at no point was there threat of mutiny. Because to mutiny would mean death, as it was thanks to Shackleton's leadership that they were surviving in the first place. Not to mention that they had grown incredibly close during their isolation.

Why didn't the British use people from some of the more northern parts of Canada to explore Antarctica? They were still British subjects, they already learned how to deal with cold, some knew how to deal with sled dogs and were generally better equipped physically and mentally for such excursions. They learned from the natives there how to survive in such cold ad harsh conditions. True, Antarctica is not quite the same as the Northern areas of Canada, bur northern Canada is a hell of a lot colder than England ever gets. But, it took a Norwegian who studied lessons from North America's northern natives and made common sense planning to make it to the south pole. He did his homework well and it paid off.

There is also a documentary on Shackletons Captain regarding the second trip. That dude is every bit as responsible for the crew surviving the second voyage. They are both incredible individuals

I have been down there, as did my 2 brothers and a brother-in-law, my brothers and myself served on the RRS John Biscoe, my in-law was on the Shackleton. it is very beautiful at a time when the only tourist ship was the MS Lindblad Explorer, I still have the gifts that was given to us a visting crew members from the ship crew, 1 ash tray with 3 gold crowns an envelope stamp and ships frank with 1 usa dollar inside and a postcard with the ship picture on it, we took them gifts also. still bring back a smile every time I think about Antarctica, maybe I go down there once more to see how things have change. I notice a few things, like they left out 1700s Captain Cook had all ready sailed around Antarctica and had landed and planted flags on Antarctica, The British Navy Mathematicians had work out that there was a large landmass down there.

Remember when the HISTORY CHANNEL had history on it? Growing up in the 90s, I loved it. It is the reason why I have a Masters in history now. Watching the channel then was a fountain of historical information. Now, all that channel is ridiculous stories about ghosts and monsters.

Fascinating. Tom Crean who had been with Scott travelled again with Shackleton. This was Tom Crean's last journey. Though Shackketon asked Tom Crean to go back again on another expedition he refused and returned home to County Kerry in Ireland where he married and opened a pub called "The South Pole Inn".

Such a great documentary.

Nine Thousand Feet of ice...that really is an astounding figure. That would be something like 35 minutes walking at a good clip; whole lotta damn ice, straight down.

To struggle for so long like many of the men did is amazing. I’m from cold weather parts of USA and nothing sucks the life from you like the cold.

Amazing video! Loved the narration as well as the raw black and white and original interviews.

Fascinating ! ....Thanks.

It was actually us Canadians that made it there first. There was no evidence tho because we didn't take many supplies and only wore tee shirts and shorts and we casually jogged across the snow because we found the climate to be warm and comfortable, much more pleasant than the Canadian winters we were used to.

The South Pole sits at an altitude of almost 10,000 feet, which feels more like 12,000 feet because of the low air pressure and arid polar atmosphere. It also has the world's driest air, making it a struggle to even climb a flight of stairs. The air would cause instant pain to any exposed skin.

Amundsen wasn't a fool driven by arrogance. Dogs much smarter choice. Studied Inuet survival strategies and learned from them as well.

@churchether

I'm Norwegian myself, and it is a well known fact that Amundsen was indeed arrogant, treating his crew badly, and milking most of the glory of the exhibition for himself. However, the crew as a whole (which critically included Sami people - experts of survival in snowy climates) did make some wise decisions and TOGETHER planned and completed the exhibition. Too much emphasis is placed on Amundsen the man, too little on the crew. But it is also quite clear that one of the reasons Amundsen and his crew made it, and the others didn't was largely due to a great deal of luck! Weather, almost fell through creveses etc. Yes he has/is been celebrated as a folk hero her in Norway. But we were a newly independent country then and this image of him as a hero was great advertisement for us. Am image he basked in while he was alive.

Both Scott and Amundsden were attempting two very different challenges. Amundsden priority was getting to the pole, first. Scott, on the other hand, was on a scientific endeavour and the pole was up there but the scientific goal was priority. Amundsden set off 5 weeks ahead of Scott, Scott was collecting rocks etc. Anyways, you know all that. My point is, in hindsight it's easy to pick up on people's mistakes. Both these guys and their teams are legends in their own rights. Unless you have been on a challenge like this, or endured what these guys endured, then it's unfair to comment so strongly. We owe so much in the way of learnings from these early trips
