Race to the South Pole

In the early 1900s, one destination remained untouched by human beings-the South Pole. Antarctica's ruthless weather, including blizzards and temperatures that can reach -119F in the winter, made human beings' attempts to reach this remote location all but impossible. However, two extraordinary men were determined to overcome the odds in a race to reach the South Pole. Thus began their voyage of frostbite, starvation, fame, and, for some-death.
