During the last 10 years, the internationally acclaimed mountaineer has repeated Sir Ernest Shackleton's famous crossing of South Georgia twice, visited the island three times in total and will lead another expedition this winter.

Stephen, who was the first Briton to climb Everest without supplementary oxygen, brings Shackleton's extraordinary expedition crossing Antarticta via the South Pole to life.
