    An amazing artefact
    Until this showed up on TCM's recent documentary series I had no idea that this film existed. It is a truly remarkable document of Shackleton's expedition to the South Pole in 1914 that turned into a two year adventure on ice.

    Save for some cute animal footage at the end that seems designed to pad the running time, this is a perfect film.
