A daring expedition to dig up the past
For more than a century, a supply cache from Shackleton's ill-fated Trans-Antarctic expedition has been buried in the ice.
A time-capsule, containing supplies and a letter that Shackleton’s party never received, put there by men who never made it home.
Today, three explorers and a documentary film crew will follow the footsteps of the men who died supporting history's greatest survival story.
And in the end, dig up a nearly forgotten tale of heroism, sacrifice and selflessness.
