Endurance: Race to the Pole

Ben and Dwayne Fields land in Antarctica and transition from modern polar explorers into their historical clothes and take on the mantle of their Edwardian forebears.

Following Shackleton's example, Ben and Dwayne embark on a daunting ice mountain challenge to try to reach the barren Polar Plateau, as temperatures sink to a mind-numbing -40C.

Ben and Dwayne follow Scott's next attempt to claim the pole. Scott's dream is shattered when Norwegian Roald Amundsen beats him, and his team face the gruelling attempt to return home.
