There's something spiritual about being so cold and trudging through to your destination with friends. No talking because the wind and face coverings make it pointless.

It's really amazing there's actually real footage and photography from the Shackleton Expedition, still existing today. Not only that it lasted this long, especially with the troubles of preserving celluloid film stock, (way back then, in particular,) but mostly because they had the forethought and mindfulness to even think of bringing a photographer on board with them, before setting out. There aren't even photos from the Titanic, after leaving shore, anyway. And they were a ship full of tourists and travellers, from every conceivable economic status. And, only happened a couple of years prior to the Endurance Expedition in 1914/15. The only reason this wasn't just as well-known, at the time or since, is because World War I happened to be well under way by the time the men were finally rescued. Leaving their obvious story of human endurance and survival on page three, whilst things like the Titanic disaster happened in a much less busy time, when it wasn't competing with other more significant World events. The Shackleton Expedition might not have been as "viral," as the Titanic, but it would have at least made the "trending" list lol know what I mean?!? ✌😇 I mean, "posterity" is an understatement. 👍

I've always especially admired Amundsen. He was a smart man, ahead of his time in my opinion by living with the native people around the Pole, learning their language and realizing the extreme wisdom in adopting their mode of travel, clothing choices and other valuable survival techniques; he understood instinctively that the people who would know best how to deal with the unique landscape would be the people who *lived there.* I also respect his sleight of hand in changing his destination last minute! Lol. He knew people talk too much as a rule and that by keeping silent about your plans you were much more likely to be successful. Later in life people found him to be sort of aloof, but I always took that to me that he was quiet and usually mostly in his mind. He lived alone in what I found to be a beautiful, minimalist home with a lot of books before his untimely death. Maybe not untimely to him. I often think he died where he really lived.

The decisive factor for Amundsen's success was IMO the months he spent with the inuit, learning what to wear, how to travel using the sled dogs, how to plan for nourishment of man and dog, etc. That's what gave him the edge over Shackleton and Scott. These two considered themselves the pinnacle of scientific knowledge, dismissing the inuit as inferior "savages" and disregarding the wealth of knowledge and centuries of experience that could be learned from them. In the end, it spelled success for Amundsen, half failure for "Shackles" and ultimate doom for Scott. Having said that, still, Shackles is my favourite for his personality and character. And the voyage of the Endurance is IMO the greatest story amongst those of polar expeditions.

To call the segment on Shackleton's journey of survival "abridged" would be INCREDIBLY generous, as it hardly scrapes the surface of the hardship those men went through. From the frostbite, to being constantly wet and cold, to sleeping in a shoddy tent on a muggy floor covered in penguin guano (and much more), none of this is brought up in the video. Furthermore at no point was there threat of mutiny. Because to mutiny would mean death, as it was thanks to Shackleton's leadership that they were surviving in the first place. Not to mention that they had grown incredibly close during their isolation.

Yeah that was ridiculous it is literally the most well known story about the place and they screw jt up by spouting total nonsense. They have film photos and journals and none ever even remotely mentioned mutiny. The worst thing they expressed was disliking some chores they had to do at times but they lived and respected Shackleton and he then. He would have spent three months and four attempts to sail back to them after doing the very first foot crossing of South Georgia after sailing in a 20 foot boat for over two weeks. It’s so disrespectful to screw that up so badly.

Why didn't the British use people from some of the more northern parts of Canada to explore Antarctica? They were still British subjects, they already learned how to deal with cold, some knew how to deal with sled dogs and were generally better equipped physically and mentally for such excursions. They learned from the natives there how to survive in such cold ad harsh conditions. True, Antarctica is not quite the same as the Northern areas of Canada, bur northern Canada is a hell of a lot colder than England ever gets. But, it took a Norwegian who studied lessons from North America's northern natives and made common sense planning to make it to the south pole. He did his homework well and it paid off.

Most other videos also rely on anti-Scott sources that have been largely debunked. From the late 70s to maybe mid 00s there was this tendency to dehumanize him, basically report every rumor as a fact if it attacks him (some of them were invention of one polar "historian" and have no other sources primary or otherwise). They wanted a villain, a personification of the sin of the Empire and this documentary isn't really different as it neglects to mention the abnormal weather, makes strange arguments regarding Scott's pick for the polar party (overestimating the choice of picking five man and implying Oates had no other merits other than being a pony man). I'm also not sure if anyone ever crossed the Beardmore Glacier with dogs but nevermind that. That hysteria is a result of trying to forcefully contrast him with Shackleton. If a book about polar expedition is about one explorer expect it to criticize another as if you can't be objective about all of them. Now there are more honest books about Scott (that those who only watch outdated documentaries don't know about) and it's Mawson who's the new target with one author not only calling him a horrible, useless leader but accusing him of pretty much murder. Again with very selective, weak arguments. Expect Shackleton, who was such a sacred cow in the 2000s, to be the next victim of character assassination because of his choices that lead to the Ross Sea Party tragedy. Or Amundsen because his decision not to take physicians on his journeys lead to death of at least one person. They all were great and all made mistakes but weren't monsters.

But his primary goal from the beginning was to take the pole for his country.(Not that he was unique in this regard) Nowhere did I say that he was solely motivated by his own ego. Mawson was always primarily focused on science and exploration, I merely stated my surprise that his story is so often ignored by documentaries about the heroic age.

But, our understanding of this ice-desert is impossibly more expansive. And all the scientists who are doing it stood on the shoulders of the men and women featured in this very documentary.

The young lady from the Maritime Museum states that 'etiquette' was the motive for choosing Oates to man-haul - 'the class system' may be an honest substitute phrase.....

Of course, nonetheless, the fact that Oates was representing the Army was a huge consideration. Had class been his, Scott's, only consideration he would have selected Cherry-Gerrard for the final group.

Scott was an idiot at best and possibly a criminal. He killled those people with his hubris. I dont feel sorry for him one bit. I do feel for th poor devils that gave their lives for his twisted dream.

One point that was missed was that Amunsen set out early and damaged his dogs paws and had to turn back allow his dogs paws to heal and then set out later than he intended. ALSO every 10 to15 years the climate of Antarctica thowes up a colder summer such was the poor circumstance of Scott's misfortune a colder summer than average and the privations.

Amundsen didn’t care about his animals or his team. Nor the british team that were in a race unknown to them. He has blood on his hands.
