Walking Out of History

Shackleton's Endurance Expedition - Off-Ramp for Dec. 31, 2011

From 1914 to 1916, Ernest Shackleton and his crew had one of the most unbelievable adventures in history. They set out to cross Antarctica, but got stuck in the ice for two years, and were rescued only after one of the most remarkable open-boat journeys in history. What's so unbelievable and remarkable? Every one of the crew survived, by dint of Shackleton's leadership qualities. "Walking Out of History," from Off-Ramp host John Rabe, tells their story with readings, interviews with two of today's leading explorers, and the actual voices of the crewmembers.
