Their destination: the South Pole, in an attempt to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent. But the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition met an untimely end when the ship became trapped by ice just 97 nautical miles from the earth’s most southerly point. Shackleton and his crew became severely ill and eventually abandoned the ship, drifting on sheets of ice for months until they reached Elephant Island, where they were rescued. Read more \"Letters of Fire\" was directed by Glen Milner. It is part of The Atlantic Selects, an online showcase of short documentaries from independent creators, curated by The Atlantic.\n
