In the last ten years, internationally acclaimed mountaineer Stephen Venables has twice repeated Sir Ernest Shackleton’s famous crossing of South Georgia. One of the great epics of exploration, Shackleton’s treacherous expedition to cross Antarctica via the South Pole is a tale of escape and survival more miraculous than any fiction.
The first Briton to climb Everest without supplementary oxygen, Stephen brings Shackleton’s extraordinary expedition to life, using his highly acclaimed photos and natural gifts as a storyteller to illustrate this treacherous journey and capture the thrill of climbing, skiing and sailing in a place of such haunting beauty.
