After reaching land, Shackleton and his team pressed on and traversed a 3000-meter mountain range to make it to civilization and get help for the 28 men that remained behind on the pack ice. Shackleton's epic adventure has never been repeated—until now.; ; Using a replica boat, and the same equipment and clothing as would have been used in 1914, explorer Tim Jarvis and his crew attempt to follow in Shackleton's wake, going beyond the point of no return, using their firsthand extreme experience measured against historical accounts to unlock the secrets of Shackleton's survival.
