SYDNEY, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- British and Australian adventurers say they plan to recreate a historic journey of human survival that followed a failed 1914 attempt to cross Antarctica.
In that year seasoned British explorer Ernest Shackleton made the first-ever attempt to cross the ice-bound continent, but had to call of the attempt when his ship became trapped in the ice and Shackleton and his men had to move onto the ice.
