With no chance of rescue, the crew began an 18-month battle for survival in one of the most extreme environments on earth. Remarkably, every member of the 28-man crew survived the ordeal and their saga remains one of the world's greatest adventure stories of human endurance and bravery. Now, more than a hundred years later, filmmaker Glen Milner is journeying to the frozen southern waters to retrace the steps of this legendary adventurer. In Letters of Fire, take a visual odyssey through Antarctica's unforgiving landscape as actor Dominic West brings to life the haunting journal entries of Shackleton's doomed voyage.
