Frank Wild: Antarctica's Forgotten Hero
Frank Wild from Skelton, North Yorkshire was the unsung hero of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. Wild was Sir Ernest Shackleton's loyal companion and 'right-hand man', following him to the ends of the Earth. Presenter and polar explorer, Paul Rose, looks back at Frank Wild's Nimrod expedition to Antarctica with Shackleton. The trip ended when the team had to turn back after a super-human effort to reach the south pole.
