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.
