The island of South Georgia
located near the bottom of the
00:00:26.02\00:00:29.62
world in freezing Antarctic
waters is one of the most
00:00:29.66\00:00:32.69
inhospitable and
remote places on planet earth.
00:00:32.73\00:00:36.46
(ice falling, wind blowing)
00:00:36.50\00:01:01.22
No humans live here permanently.
Conditions are just too harsh.
00:01:01.26\00:01:06.33
But yet South Georgia is teaming
with life. It's home to 30
00:01:06.36\00:01:11.37
billion breeding birds, millions
of seals and five separate
00:01:11.40\00:01:16.00
species of penguins including
the largest colony of king
00:01:16.07\00:01:20.58
penguins on this planet. South
Georgia's rugged coastline,
00:01:20.61\00:01:25.08
formidable snow-covered mountain
peaks and blue glacier ice were
00:01:25.11\00:01:29.75
the scene of one of the greatest
survival and rescue stories of
00:01:29.78\00:01:34.36
all time. And although it
happened a hundred years ago
00:01:34.39\00:01:38.46
it still carries a message
of hope that's relevant in our
00:01:38.49\00:01:42.56
modern age.
00:01:42.60\00:01:44.20
¤ ¤
00:01:44.80\00:02:14.30
Glaciers cover nearly 60 percent
of the island. It's located
00:02:14.33\00:02:18.87
roughly 1400 km. from the
Falkland Islands and more than
00:02:18.90\00:02:23.81
2000 km. from South America,
a distant geographical fly speck
00:02:23.84\00:02:30.81
at the bottom of the globe.
Captain James Cook made the
00:02:30.85\00:02:37.19
first landing here on January
17 1775. He named it Isle of
00:02:37.22\00:02:42.52
Georgia after King George III
and claimed it for his majesty.
00:02:42.59\00:02:47.50
There are no permanent human
residents here today but South
00:02:47.53\00:02:51.83
Georgia and the surrounding
islands are home to some of the
00:02:51.87\00:02:56.40
most amazing concentrations of
wildlife anywhere in the world.
00:02:56.44\00:03:01.31
The wildlife is varied and
abundant. More than five million
00:03:01.34\00:03:06.38
fur seals call South Georgia
home. But the island's real
00:03:06.41\00:03:11.35
treasure lies in its birdlife.
More than five million pairs of
00:03:11.39\00:03:15.76
macaroni penguin nest on
the island. But the macaroni
00:03:15.79\00:03:20.56
penguins aren't without
neighbors. South Georgia Island
00:03:20.60\00:03:25.27
is home to the world's largest
King Penguin rookery consisting
00:03:25.30\00:03:30.57
of around half a million birds.
King penguins are extremely
00:03:30.61\00:03:35.51
faithful birds in the penguin
world having only one mate and
00:03:35.54\00:03:40.82
staying faithful to that partner
Breeding is not an easy affair
00:03:40.85\00:03:46.09
either with couples only
producing a single egg every two
00:03:46.12\00:03:50.16
or three years. When chicks
arrive they're extremely well
00:03:50.23\00:03:54.33
cared for, often being deposited
in massive penguin care groups
00:03:54.36\00:03:58.57
called crèches. There's
not much singing but boy are
00:03:58.60\00:04:04.27
they're loud. But they're not
alone on South Georgia Island.
00:04:04.31\00:04:09.74
In fact over 30 million breeding
birds of different varieties can
00:04:09.81\00:04:16.12
be found here including not
far away in the tall grass the
00:04:16.15\00:04:21.19
magnificent wandering albatross.
It might look ungainly on land
00:04:21.22\00:04:26.06
but this magnificent creature
has the largest wing span of any
00:04:26.09\00:04:30.93
living bird, as much as
three and a half meters. Not
00:04:30.97\00:04:35.80
surprisingly these birds are
more at home in the air and take
00:04:35.84\00:04:40.28
off requires more than your
average runner. The wondering
00:04:40.31\00:04:44.31
albatross is capable of staying
aloft for hours at a time
00:04:44.35\00:04:48.88
without flapping its wings.
These incredible birds can live
00:04:48.92\00:04:53.56
for over 50 years and in the
days when sail ships traversed
00:04:53.59\00:04:57.86
the great southern ocean they
were known to circle the mast
00:04:57.89\00:05:02.10
for days at a time, a symbol of
good luck for the sailors below.
00:05:02.13\00:05:07.77
South Georgia was one of the
first gateways to Antarctica. It
00:05:07.80\00:05:12.77
became the center of the huge
southern ocean whaling industry.
00:05:12.81\00:05:17.55
Several important Antarctic
explorers called at the whaling
00:05:17.58\00:05:21.68
stations on their way to the
bottom of the world. The most
00:05:21.72\00:05:25.72
notable of these was the great
polar explorer Ernest Shackleton
00:05:25.75\00:05:31.19
In fact, Shackleton's name is
inextricably linked with South
00:05:31.23\00:05:36.60
Georgia and his story which ends
here remains one of the greatest
00:05:36.63\00:05:40.70
feats of courage and endurance
ever told. When Ernest was 10
00:05:40.74\00:05:45.71
years old his family moved
to London and settled here in
00:05:45.74\00:05:50.68
Aberdeen House, now St. David's
in Sydna. His father was a
00:05:50.71\00:05:56.08
doctor and wanted Ernest to
follow him, but young Ernest was
00:05:56.12\00:06:00.72
more interested in adventure and
exploration. He went to school
00:06:00.76\00:06:05.33
here at Dulwich College in
London where his visions of far
00:06:05.36\00:06:09.96
off lands grew and took shape.
He was desperate to go to sea,
00:06:10.00\00:06:14.40
and so despite his father's
urgings to go to medical school
00:06:14.44\00:06:18.77
he joined the merchant navy when
he was 16. Leaving his classroom
00:06:18.81\00:06:26.85
behind, Ernest went on to
achieve the rank of first mate
00:06:26.88\00:06:30.75
by the age of 18 and at the age
of 24 he was a certified master
00:06:30.79\00:06:36.36
mariner which meant that he
could command a British ship
00:06:36.39\00:06:40.06
anywhere on the seven
seas. Ernest had a particular
00:06:40.10\00:06:44.87
fascination with the great
southern continent of Antarctica
00:06:44.90\00:06:49.57
the coldest, driest and empties
pace on earth. It was the last
00:06:49.60\00:06:54.01
frontier for explorers and for
Shackleton this harsh region at
00:06:54.04\00:06:59.48
the bottom of the world became
an obsession. Shackleton tried
00:06:59.51\00:07:04.79
to reach the south pole three
times. In 1901 he joined the
00:07:04.82\00:07:10.03
noted British naval officer and
explorer Robert Falcon Scott on
00:07:10.06\00:07:15.06
a difficult trek to the south
pole. They got closer to the
00:07:15.10\00:07:18.90
south pole than anyone
previously. Their polar party
00:07:18.93\00:07:23.97
reached to within 660 km of
the pole but Shackleton fell
00:07:24.01\00:07:28.94
seriously ill and had to return
home. And then in 1907 he led
00:07:28.98\00:07:35.78
his own British Antarctic
expedition in a nimrod. He got
00:07:35.82\00:07:40.32
closer to the south pole
than anyone else in history. He
00:07:40.36\00:07:44.76
reached to within 160 km of the
pole before brutal conditions
00:07:44.79\00:07:50.07
forced him to turn back.
Shackleton received a hero's
00:07:50.10\00:07:54.27
welcome when he returned
home and was knighted for his
00:07:54.30\00:07:59.51
achievement becoming Sir
Ernest Shackleton. But in 1911
00:07:59.54\00:08:04.68
Shackleton's dream of becoming
the first person to set foot on
00:08:04.71\00:08:08.98
the south pole was shattered
when the Norwegian explorer
00:08:09.05\00:08:13.59
Roald Amundsen reached the
earth's most southerly point.
00:08:13.62\00:08:17.53
That left one last
great Antarctic challenge:
00:08:17.59\00:08:21.76
From the Weddell Sea to the
Ross Sea is a distance of almost
00:08:33.98\00:08:38.61
3000 km across some of the most
forbidding terrain on planet
00:08:38.65\00:08:44.02
earth. No one had ever done it
before and there's a good reason
00:08:44.05\00:08:49.79
Antarctica isn't just cold. The
entire continent is covered by
00:08:49.82\00:08:55.70
ice. In some places it's over
four km thick. Temperatures can
00:08:55.73\00:09:01.90
fall to almost minus 90 degrees
Celsius. Winds reach up to 300
00:09:01.94\00:09:07.91
km/hr and since no one lives
here, there's no human help to
00:09:07.94\00:09:13.31
be had if things go wrong. But
nothing would deter Shackleton.
00:09:13.35\00:09:18.69
and Dulwich College contains a
relic of his greatest Antarctic
00:09:20.42\00:09:23.86
trial. He planned a new
adventure that he grandly
00:09:23.93\00:09:28.13
titled the Imperial
Transantarctic Expedition.
00:09:28.16\00:09:32.33
He saw his expedition as the
last great polar journey of the
00:09:32.37\00:09:37.81
heroic age of exploration.
It would be his third attempt to
00:09:37.84\00:09:42.98
reach the south pole and he
would need tough companions to
00:09:43.01\00:09:46.88
achieve his goal. Urban
myth has it he posted an unusual
00:09:46.92\00:09:50.79
recruitment notice
in the London papers:
00:09:50.82\00:09:53.05
Whether the ad existed or not
it fired the British public's
00:10:12.17\00:10:17.15
imagination. Shackleton received
more than 5000 applications to
00:10:17.21\00:10:22.45
join the expedition. He
ultimately selected a crew of
00:10:22.48\00:10:26.35
27. The skipper was a New
Zealander, Frank Worsley and the
00:10:26.39\00:10:30.89
official photographer an
Australian Frank Hurley who
00:10:30.93\00:10:35.33
go to any length to document the
journey. In early August 1914 as
00:10:35.36\00:10:44.47
World War I engulfed Europe
Shackleton and his crew set out
00:10:44.51\00:10:49.24
for Antarctica aboard the
ship Endurance, named after his
00:10:49.28\00:10:53.98
family motto, By endurance we
conquer. Just over three months
00:10:54.02\00:10:59.85
after leaving England
the Endurance arrived here in
00:10:59.89\00:11:03.66
Grytviken, South Georgia the
gateway to Antarctica. It was
00:11:03.69\00:11:07.60
the first of Shackleton's three
visits to the island. Originally
00:11:07.63\00:11:12.53
Shackleton planned to stock up
with final supplies and depart
00:11:12.57\00:11:17.37
after a few days on the island.
However, due to the unusually
00:11:17.41\00:11:21.88
heavy concentration of pack ice
at sea that year, the Endurance
00:11:21.91\00:11:26.51
ended up spending a month here
before finally departing for the
00:11:26.55\00:11:30.62
Weddell Sea on the 5th of
December 1914. But the ice flows
00:11:30.65\00:11:36.12
grew thicker the further south
Shackleton pushed until finally
00:11:36.16\00:11:41.30
on the 19th of January the
Endurance became frozen fast in
00:11:41.33\00:11:46.43
the pack ice around Antarctica.
For 10 long months the ship and
00:11:46.47\00:11:52.77
its crew drifted trapped within
the ice. Ultimately Shackleton
00:11:52.81\00:11:57.75
was forced to abandon ship and
set up camp on the floating ice.
00:11:57.78\00:12:02.65
The crew salvaged as many of
their supplies as possible along
00:12:02.68\00:12:07.79
with the ship's three life boats
and slowly but surely the moving
00:12:07.82\00:12:12.89
ice exerted more and more
pressure on the ship's hull
00:12:12.93\00:12:15.93
until finally the Endurance
was crushed. The rig eventually
00:12:15.96\00:12:22.77
slipped beneath the surface on
the 21st of November 1915. For
00:12:22.80\00:12:28.58
Shackleton and the crew it was
their darkest moment. The ship
00:12:28.61\00:12:34.32
that had been their home and
their hope was gone. Now they
00:12:34.35\00:12:39.42
were trapped on the ice. Without
a ship all hope of reaching
00:12:39.45\00:12:44.49
Vassel Bay and crossing
Antarctica was gone. The
00:12:44.53\00:12:48.93
expedition was over. With his
dream now dashed Shackleton set
00:12:48.96\00:12:55.04
a new goal, to save every crew
member and get them safely home.
00:12:55.10\00:13:01.14
For almost five months
Shackleton and his crew were
00:13:01.18\00:13:05.31
stranded on a large flat ice
flow with meager food, clothing
00:13:05.35\00:13:10.62
and shelter. Their hope that it
would drift closer to land but
00:13:10.65\00:13:15.99
then disaster struck. Their ice
flow broke in half and began to
00:13:16.02\00:13:20.76
disintegrate. Shackleton ordered
his crewmen into the life boats
00:13:20.80\00:13:25.43
to head to the nearest land. The
men had been trapped on the ice
00:13:25.47\00:13:30.07
for 15 months, but now as they
launched the three small life
00:13:30.11\00:13:34.94
boats into the open water their
real battle was just beginning.
00:13:34.98\00:13:39.88
There was no escape from the
sleet and rain that froze on the
00:13:39.91\00:13:44.79
men and supplies making everyone
cold and miserable. Their
00:13:44.82\00:13:50.26
clothes became icy armor and
their hands froze to the oars.
00:13:50.29\00:13:55.60
The wind and currents made
progress very slow. After seven
00:13:55.63\00:14:00.24
harrowing days on the open sea
the exhausted men landed their
00:14:00.27\00:14:04.84
three life boats at this
uninhabited rocky outcrop called
00:14:04.87\00:14:10.01
Elephant Island, 500 km from
where the Endurance was crashed
00:14:10.05\00:14:14.88
and sank. This was the first
time they stood on solid ground
00:14:14.92\00:14:21.06
for 497 days. Elephant Island
might suit the elephant seals
00:14:21.09\00:14:26.19
for which it was named but
it was an inhospitable place for
00:14:26.23\00:14:31.33
human beings and far from any
shipping lanes. No one back home
00:14:31.37\00:14:36.60
had any idea where they were
so there was no hope of being
00:14:36.64\00:14:40.44
rescued. Winter was also
approaching fast and their
00:14:40.48\00:14:45.75
supplies were running low. They
were cut off from the world by
00:14:45.78\00:14:50.85
the freezing stormy Antarctic
ocean. Unless help arrived they
00:14:50.89\00:14:56.36
were doomed. Someone had to
cross the world's most dangerous
00:14:56.39\00:15:01.63
ocean and get help. Shackleton
selected five men to accompany
00:15:01.66\00:15:05.90
him. In this tiny 7 m. lifeboat
the James Caird. They would risk
00:15:05.93\00:15:12.81
an open boat journey across
1300 km of the roughest seas in
00:15:12.84\00:15:17.98
the world to get help from
the whaling station back on the
00:15:18.01\00:15:23.08
frozen island of South Georgia.
Shackleton promised his men that
00:15:23.12\00:15:27.62
he would return. He promised to
come back and rescue them. Then
00:15:27.66\00:15:32.09
he set out with his crew.
As Ernest sailed away he looked
00:15:32.13\00:15:36.60
back at the 22
men he left behind:
00:15:36.63\00:15:39.53
It seemed an impossible task in
a small boat through the world's
00:15:59.09\00:16:04.06
worst seas. For days they were
huddled under a makeshift canvas
00:16:04.09\00:16:08.70
covering crouching together
keeping the bow turned into the
00:16:08.73\00:16:13.27
fierce waves praying the
wind wouldn't tear their small
00:16:13.30\00:16:17.77
makeshift sail away. One of the
greatest dangers they faced was
00:16:17.81\00:16:23.04
the sea spray because it froze
on just about every surface
00:16:23.08\00:16:26.58
threatening to sink their boat
underneath an ever increasing
00:16:26.61\00:16:31.15
weight of ice. Several times
they risked their lives hacking
00:16:31.19\00:16:35.76
it off to prevent the boat from
capsizing and in the midst of
00:16:35.79\00:16:40.46
this immense ocean they also had
the real fear that they water
00:16:40.50\00:16:48.50
would run out before they
made land. But just as they were
00:16:48.54\00:16:56.71
about to give up hope they
spotted the cliffs of South
00:16:56.75\00:17:01.18
Georgia. Gale force winds made
it difficult for them to land
00:17:01.22\00:17:05.92
safely. Eventually they managed
to get into a cove in King
00:17:05.95\00:17:10.93
Haakon Bay on the south of the
island. In years to come their
00:17:10.96\00:17:15.56
voyage in the James Caird would
become a legend and be judged as
00:17:15.60\00:17:20.50
one of the greatest open boat
journeys every accomplished, but
00:17:20.54\00:17:25.41
they weren't safe yet.
Their boat was too damaged to go
00:17:25.44\00:17:30.98
further and they were on the
uninhabited side of the island.
00:17:31.01\00:17:34.75
To get to the whaling station
for help someone would have to
00:17:34.78\00:17:39.39
cross rugged unmapped mountains
and glaciers by foot. Shackleton
00:17:39.42\00:17:44.06
chose two men, Frank Worsley and
Tom Crean to accompany him on
00:17:44.09\00:17:48.33
the dangerous climb. They didn't
have a tent and couldn't rest
00:17:48.36\00:17:52.47
for long because they could
easily freeze to death if they
00:17:52.50\00:17:57.51
fell asleep in the snow. They
had to negotiate deep crevasses
00:17:57.54\00:18:02.44
razor back mountains
and precipices. They marched
00:18:02.48\00:18:06.28
continuously for 36
hours covering some 50 km over
00:18:06.31\00:18:10.05
treacherous glaciers in order
to reach the whaling station at
00:18:10.09\00:18:14.66
Stromness their only hope
after 17 months cut off from the
00:18:14.69\00:18:19.19
outside world. When they finally
saw Stromness station they were
00:18:19.23\00:18:23.70
wet, exhausted, bedraggled.
But Shackleton expressed his
00:18:23.73\00:18:27.87
feelings of relief and
thankfulness even though they'd
00:18:27.90\00:18:32.01
lost everything to
impossible conditions:
00:18:32.07\00:18:34.98
Initially Shackleton's arrival
here at the whaling station
00:19:00.74\00:19:05.74
caused some concern. No one
recognized these scarecrows.
00:19:05.77\00:19:10.01
They were filthy, their faces
were gray with blubber smoke
00:19:10.05\00:19:14.35
their hair was matted with salt,
their beards were a tangled mess
00:19:14.38\00:19:19.59
their appearance was
frighteningly bedraggled.
00:19:19.62\00:19:23.09
The first people who saw them
fled. An old Norwegian whaler
00:19:23.12\00:19:28.40
led him and his men to the
manager's home. The manager
00:19:28.43\00:19:32.23
wanted to know who they were.
My name is Shackleton, he said.
00:19:32.27\00:19:38.71
The man was so shocked at their
appearance that he turned away
00:19:38.74\00:19:43.58
and wept. That night they
slept in comfort, safe from the
00:19:43.61\00:19:48.65
blizzard that had begun soon
after they arrived. If the storm
00:19:48.68\00:19:53.02
had hit while they were still
crossing South Georgia they
00:19:53.05\00:19:56.62
would certainly have frozen
to death. Once again they had
00:19:56.66\00:20:00.63
experienced a miraculous escape
but to his dying day Shackleton
00:20:00.66\00:20:06.50
was sure that it was only
through Divine providence that
00:20:06.53\00:20:10.31
they had made it to Stromness.
He was certain that God had been
00:20:10.34\00:20:15.51
with them all the way:
00:20:15.54\00:20:16.88
Shackleton knew that we need
never walk alone. We don't have
00:20:35.40\00:20:40.74
to face life's hardships with no
one to help. Shackleton emerged
00:20:40.77\00:20:45.91
from South Georgia knowing that
God draws near to those who draw
00:20:45.94\00:20:50.68
near to him. Shackleton made
three attempts to reach the men
00:20:50.71\00:20:54.98
on Elephant Island but the ice
blocked his path for four long
00:20:55.02\00:20:59.95
months. However, he refused to
give up. He'd made a promise to
00:20:59.99\00:21:04.56
his men that he would return. He
was determined to save them all
00:21:04.59\00:21:09.76
no matter what. Finally one day
the fog lifted, the wind stopped
00:21:09.80\00:21:16.24
and there was an opening in the
ice. Quickly Shackleton took his
00:21:16.27\00:21:20.84
chance and ran his ship through
this channel. He wondered what
00:21:20.88\00:21:25.48
he'd find back on Elephant
Island. One hundred and thirty
00:21:25.51\00:21:30.35
days after he left Ernest
Shackleton kept his promise and
00:21:30.39\00:21:34.52
returned to Elephant Island
to rescue his men. Anxiously he
00:21:34.56\00:21:39.36
counted the figures on the
beach, then he turned and said:
00:21:39.39\00:21:42.96
Not a single life had been lost.
They were all there waiting for
00:21:48.00\00:21:51.94
him and he was amazed to find
that they were packed and ready
00:21:51.97\00:21:55.88
to leave. He quickly got his men
on board and came back out of
00:21:55.91\00:22:01.15
the bay just before the
ice closed together again. The
00:22:01.18\00:22:05.65
rescue was completed in half
an hour. All 22 men were safely
00:22:05.69\00:22:12.03
evacuated. Shackleton's
story remains one of the
00:22:12.06\00:22:15.93
greatest feats
00:22:16.13\00:22:17.47
of courage, endurance and
leadership ever told. It's
00:22:17.50\00:22:21.94
called the greatest rescue story
of all time. Those 22 men hung
00:22:21.97\00:22:27.68
on those words, I will return,
I'll come back and get you.
00:22:27.71\00:22:31.98
That's what gave them hope. They
believed Shackleton would keep
00:22:32.01\00:22:36.89
his promise and return. They
trusted him. And it reminds me
00:22:36.92\00:22:41.99
of another rescue story, one
that would have been familiar to
00:22:42.02\00:22:45.39
Shackleton, one that vitally
affects you and me. When Jesus
00:22:45.43\00:22:51.20
Christ was preparing to leave
this world he called his closest
00:22:51.23\00:22:55.24
friends and made them a promise:
00:22:55.27\00:22:57.01
That promise that Jesus made, I
will come back, is the one thing
00:23:18.73\00:23:24.40
that keeps millions of people
going day after day. The return
00:23:24.43\00:23:29.47
of Jesus has given hope to
people of all ages for centuries
00:23:29.50\00:23:34.88
After Shackleton had rescued his
men and when all the excitement
00:23:34.91\00:23:39.78
was over, he asked one of the
men who had stayed on the island
00:23:39.81\00:23:44.25
The man said, Sir, you said
you would come back for us so we
00:23:55.13\00:24:00.57
never gave up hope. We believed
you would come back for us,
00:24:00.60\00:24:04.44
Whenever the sea was partly free
of ice we rolled up our sleeping
00:24:04.47\00:24:09.81
bags and packed our things,
saying, Maybe Shackleton will
00:24:09.84\00:24:13.75
come today. We were always
ready for your coming. There's a
00:24:13.78\00:24:20.46
lesson there for us today.
We should always be ready to go
00:24:20.49\00:24:24.79
with Jesus at any time, any day,
any hour. Can there be anything
00:24:24.83\00:24:31.07
more important than being ready
to meet Jesus? Jesus promised,
00:24:31.10\00:24:38.17
I will come back and he will.
The most important question to
00:24:38.21\00:24:43.78
be settled is are you ready
for Jesus to come? Why not draw
00:24:43.81\00:24:49.42
close to him now as we pray?
00:24:49.45\00:24:52.25
Dear Father, we want to thank
you for Jesus who died to save
00:24:52.29\00:24:58.09
this world and has promised
to come back again for all who
00:24:58.13\00:25:02.06
trust in him. We thank you for
his sacrifice on our behalf and
00:25:02.10\00:25:06.84
we place our faith in him as
Savior and Lord. And we place
00:25:06.87\00:25:10.91
our hope in him as the ultimate
rescuer coming back again to
00:25:10.94\00:25:16.14
take us to be with you. Amen.
00:25:16.18\00:25:20.05
Ernest Shackleton's rescue of
the men on Elephant Island has
00:25:20.08\00:25:25.12
inspired and encouraged people
all over the world. It's been
00:25:25.15\00:25:28.76
called the greatest rescue
of all time. Shackleton promised
00:25:28.79\00:25:33.73
his men that he would return. He
promised to come back and rescue
00:25:33.76\00:25:37.57
them. This amazing story reminds
us that Jesus has promised that
00:25:37.60\00:25:43.27
he will come back and rescue us.

and a new earth. And God will
wipe away ever tear from their
00:27:54.77\00:27:58.71
eyes. There shall be no more
death nor sorrow nor crying.
00:27:58.74\00:28:02.64
There shall be no more
pain for the former things have
00:28:02.68\00:28:06.92
passed away.
