- Synopsis:
The Island at the End of the World documents a journey over and around the awesome sub-Antarctic Island of South Georgia, made famous by the legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. Our modern-day expedition sets out to follow the same route over South Georgia, as taken by Shackleton after his ill-fated expedition to the Antarctic in 1915. What our cameras find is an island of phenomenal beauty, likened to a slice of the Alps stuck straight into the ocean. And crowding its shores, some of the densest concentrations of wildlife found anywhere in the world. Greg Grainger joins an expedition led by Antarctic veteran climber Greg Mortimer, with fellow climbers including Tony Wheeler, founder of the Lonely Planet guide books, and Brenda Shackleton, married to a distant relative of the great explorer. On South Georgia, the expedition encounters abundant wildlife, such as vast colonies of king penguins, seals so friendly they crawl all over the climbers, and magnificent Wandering Albatross nesting on remote outer islands. Grainger and a group of 14 other climbers set off to follow in the footsteps of Sir Ernest Shackleton, attempting to re-trace one of the greatest stories of survival of all time. What they're confronted by is a fierce blizzard that challenges their quest. Greg Grainger is an award-winning producer and presenter of topical travel documentaries and wildlife programmes to remote and exotic locations. Greg's programmes are seen around the world, from Grainger's World screened daily on Europe's Travel Channel to Tour Deluxe on the USA Travel Channel, as well as Channel 7 Australia's The World Around Us. His wildlife specials appear regularly on the international networks Discovery Channel and National Geographic Channel. - Actors:
