Britain's Deadliest Arctic Expedition

In 1913, a celebrity explorer led an ambitious expedition into the Arctic that ended in catastrophe. The disaster unfolded through three remarkable stories: a captain's desperate 700-mile trek across treacherous sea ice, an Inuit mother's gruelling efforts to survive on a remote island, and the five-year journey of the charismatic and deceitful leader who pursued glory with a bag of Union Jacks. Historian Giles Milton joins Dan Snow to recount this saga of endurance, mutiny, and murder at the edge of the world.
