  Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage  
This is the awesome tale of British explorer Ernest Shackleton's abortive 1914 attempt to reach the South Pole. His ship, 
Endurance, was trapped and then crushed by sea ice, leaving Shackleton and 27 men adrift on ice floes. The story of how 
Shackleton saved all of them and reached South Georgia Island is one of the epics in the history of survival.

  Shackleton - The Greatest Survival Story...           

DVD Features:

South with Endurance: Shackleton's...   
This is the most defenitive retelling of Shackleton's adventure in pictures. Frank Hurley was an exceptional photographer who 
ust happened to take pictures of a journey that without them would be simply unbelievable. The book is a work of technical 
genius and without artistic equal among work of that era, particularly when you realise what awful conditions he worked under.

  Tom Crean: Unsung Hero of the Scott and...   
Tom Crean survived three expeditions to the Antarctic. The first was with Robert Scott aboard the Discovery (1901-1904), 
the second with Scott aboard the Terra Nova (1910-1913), and the third with Ernest Shackleton aboard the Endurance  
(1914-1916). 

Cherry: A Life of Apsley Cherry-Garrard
  
Apsley Cherry-Garrard's "Worst Journey in the World" remains a polar classic, still in print 80 years after it first appeared.

  90 Degrees South: With Scott to the...             
The story of an immortal adventure with Captain Robert Scott. Restored by the British Film Institute's National Film Archive, 
cinematographer Herbert G. Ponting's 90 Degrees South is a spellbinding chronicle of Scott's heroic and ultimately tragic race
for the South Pole.  A surprisingly moving documentary including not just incredible cinematography but a harrowing tale of heroism.

  Last Place on Earth           
Based on the book "The Last Place on Earth" by Roland Huntford, this handsome production gives us a non-biased and realistic 
look at the history, politics and personalities involved in the struggle for the South Pole
