This documentary follows nine adventurers in the footsteps of explorer Ernest Shackleton, hero of one of the greatest survival stories of Antarctic exploration, 100 years after his epic Endurance expedition. Their goal is not only to relive part of the 1914 voyage of the crew, but also live a personal adventure, some 800 miles between Elephant Island and South Georgia in sailing boat, ski and pulka, while gathering information and oceanographic and scientific data to provide a better understanding of this part of the world.
