Three months later, their mission was in ruins and they faced certain death if they carried on. Just 97 miles from the South Pole, Shackleton turned back. ne hundred years on, in October 2008, a team that included descendants of that original party, led by Henry Worsley, set out from Shackleton s hut to celebrate the centenary of his expedition by retracing the exact 870 mile route and going on to finish the last 97 miles.
