Sir Ernest Shackleton's heroic but ill-starred two-year voyage and epic struggle for survival to cross Antarctica. The crew, including filmmaker Frank Hurley, sailed from England in July 1914, but became locked in pack ice 80 miles from land. For nine months, they tried to escape, eventually abandoning ship and rowing to Elephant Island.
