Shackleton and Scott were men with a common goal - the South Pole. However, divisions between them grew as jealousy and intrigue intensified their rivalry. This intriguing documentary draws upon a collection of historical knowledge to investigate the social setting and psychology of these men who dramatically, and fatally, pushed the limits of human endurance.

L'expédition antarctique conduite de 1914 à 1917 par Sir Ernest Shackleton représente l'une des plus grandes prouesses de l'endurance humaine, dont Frank Hurley, photographe officiel de l'expédition, a su traduire l'atmosphère par des images remarquables, réalisées tout au long de l'aventure.

This is a documentary of Captain R.F. Scott's second Antarctic expedition, begun in 1910. The British, under Scott, attempted to reach the South Pole before Roald Amundsen's Norwegians. Scott's writings reveal that the British made it to the South Pole, only to find that the Norwegians had gotten there first. Scott, and the other four men who had made it to the Pole with him, died on the return trip.
