Superquark Specials Episode 48 Shackleton, l'eroe dell'Antartide ( Air Date 2010-12-30 ) Genre Documentary category. Overview "The second episode of the Speciali Superquark deals with one of the most incredible feats in the history of exploration. It is the story of Ernest Henry Shackleton and his men, who left England in August 1914 to make the first crossing of Antarctica on foot. But the ship Endurance was trapped by ice and sank. Then Shackleton carried out a desperate feat that has now become legend: he left most of the men in a sort of camp on the ice and set off with a lifeboat and 5 other men in the direction of South Georgia, a dot in the ocean. Fighting against ocean waves, storms and deadly winds, he managed to land, but the island had high mountains and glaciers. He left three more men in another camp and climbed the mountains with two companions, reaching a whaling base. From there, the rescue operations began, which failed twice. On the third attempt, 2 years and 10 months after leaving, Shackleton will save all his men, welcomed as a hero in his homeland!".
