A monthly anthology of travel, exploration and adventure - worldwide.
Introduced by John Ridgway. Tonight, two films about polar disasters. Frozen in Time
In 1846, two ships of the Royal Navy and 129 men were searching for the Northwest Passage. They disappeared without trace. In 1986, two bodies were found - preserved in the ice. The mystery of the Franklin expedition begins to unfold. South with Shackleton
A film shot in 1915 during the Antarctic adventure of Endurance and her crew.
For ten months they drifted, trapped in the southern ice.
