Endurance Race to the Pole S01E01 1080p HDTV H264-DARKFLiX
In 2009, explorer Ben Fogle defied his doubters and skied over 750km to the South Pole, pipped to the post by a Norwegian team. That life changing experience left him with one big question: how did the first, legendary polar explorers conquer that savage landscape?
In Endurance: Race to the Pole, Ben will return to Antarctica in search of these answers and experience first-hand some of the extremes that his polar heroes endured in their quest to conquer the unknown.
Season 1, Episode 01 –“The Discovery Expedition, 1901-1904”
In episode one, it’s 1901 and the start of the Great Age of Antarctic Exploration. Stepping forward to lead Britain’s three-year-long “Discovery” Expedition to Antarctica, and hopefully reach the South Pole was Captain Robert Falcon Scott. His is one of the best equipped and financed expeditions yet, and alongside Scott is a fresh-faced new recruit: Ernest Shackleton.
We follow as Ben and Dwayne land in Antarctica and transition from modern polar explorers into their historical clothes and take on the mantle of their Edwardian forebears.
Within days they are setting off with faithfully recreated equipment and rations on their own journey trying to experience the key moments of that first attempt at the pole. Scott and Shackleton used dogs but without success, in the end hampering their efforts. As non-indigenous species are no longer allowed in Antarctica Ben and Dwayne have to resort to good old-fashioned man hauling, dragging a wooden “Nansen” sled and all the kit they need to survive in Antarctica behind them. It’s back breaking and mind-numbing work, but worse is to come as they pitch their replica tent for the first time on the frozen barren ice fields.
They plan to live on the same rations, making the famed polar dish of “Hoosh” for breakfast and dinner: a fatty stew made from dried beef, rendered beef fat and rock-hard ships biscuits all mushed up into melted snow.
Scott made valiant efforts to reach for the Pole and ultimately set a new world record for the furthest South any person had ever gone into the heart of Terra Incognita, as Antarctica was known, but ultimately, he failed and had to stop many hundreds of kilometers from the pole.
