If you\u2019ve ever read the classic book Endurance, you probably shivered and shuddered as you wondered what it would have been like to have undertaken Ernest Shackleton\u2019s famously arduous Antarctic rescue mission.\n\nThe adventurer Tim Jarvis did more than wonder. When Alexandra Shackleton challenged him to re-create her grandfather\u2019s epic journey, he jumped at the chance to follow in the legendary explorer\u2019s footsteps.\n\nToday on the show, Tim, the author of Chasing Shackleton: Re-creating the World\u2019s Greatest Journey of Survival, first shares the story of Shackleton\u2019s heroic effort to save the crew of his failed Antarctic expedition. Tim then tells us how he and his own crew replicated Shackleton\u2019s journey over land and sea, from taking the same kind of rowboat to eating the same kind of rations \u2014 and the lessons in resilience and leadership he learned along the way.
