Blizzard: Race to the Pole

on BBC Two England

4/6. While Rune Gjeldnes 's Norwegian team are set an reaching the pole faster than compatriot Roald Amundsen did in 1912, Bruce Parry and the British have more immediate problems. With two injured men having been flown home, the team faces the gruelling prospect of hauling two 500kg sledges with six men instead of eight. On top of that, Bruce is faced with a tough decision - who to take with him to the pole and who to turn back. BBC History Magazine's September issue has an article on the programme and the 1911 race to the Pole. Out now priced £3.60 RT DIRECT: order the book Blizzard: Race to the Pole for just £11.99 inci p&p.
