The Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration (Ends of The Earth VI)
Manage episode 347208272 series 2977249
Ends of The Earth shifts its focus to the southern pole in its penultimate episode. For Robert Falcon Scott, the Discovery Expedition would prove to be career-making. And yet, its shortcomings would set the stage for a final, calamitous journey and the conclusion of man’s reach for the Earth’s poles.
Ends of the Earth explores the increasingly vain efforts taken by those hoping to conquer the earth's poles. This multi-part series follows those who faced unbearable weather conditions, violent seas, and the least hospitable lands imaginable.
