Sir Ernest Shackleton was a famous sailor and adventurer – one of the most important in polar history at the beginning of the 20th century. Admired today for his leadership capacity in the face of adverse situations, which allowed him and his twenty-seven crew members to survive the southern winter, trapped in the Antarctic ice in 1914. For three years, he lived one of the greatest epics of polar exploration. Now, more than 100 years later, a small crew of mountaineers, and researchers sets out to retrace Shackleton’s voyage in the southern seas, sailing the 700 nautical miles (1400 km) from the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) to the South Georgia Islands (Antarctica). Once there, they cross San Pedro Island, following the very same route that Shackleton took in his historic feat to save his crew, before touring the main southern life refuges of the territory known as the Southern Serengeti.
