Endurance - All Seasons
Season 1
Race to the Pole
In 2009, explorer Ben Fogle defied his doubters and skied over 750km to the South Pole, pipped to the post by a Norwegian team. That life changing experience left him with one big question: how did the first, legendary polar explorers conquer that savage landscape?
In Endurance: Race to the Pole, Ben will return to Antarctica in search of these answers and experience first-hand some of the extremes that his polar heroes endured in their quest to conquer the unknown.
Season 2
Race for the Nile
Fresh from conquering the South Pole, Ben Fogle and Dwayne Fields follow in the footsteps of these pioneering Victorian explorers across punishing terrain, wearing their clothes, eating their food and relying on their kit. Along the way, they find themselves wrestling with Britain's controversial colonial history – revisiting an era of not just exploration, but of exploitation.
