In this recreation of the 1911-1912 'race to the pole' challenge, two intrepid teams of contemporary explorers attempt to reach the South Pole using the original methods of Norwegian Roald Amundsen and Briton Robert Falcon Scott who so famously perished on the return journey along with his team having discovered his Nordic rival, with a shorter rout and better equipment, had beaten him to the goal.... The journey is a staggering 2,500 km long in sub-zero conditions using only the equipment, clothing and food that were available to the original teams. The members of this expedition will experience first hand, in terrifying detail, the chilling truth behind the race to the South Pole.
