Marcus arrives in Antarctica; builds an ice cave; experiences a white Christmas and treks the dry valleys. Sound dull? In fact it's the opposite - spell binding.
Marcus goes to help on the restoration of Shackleton's Hut; keeps bar on New Year's Eve at Scott Base and explores a Shackleton connection in Christchurch.

The end of Marcus' month in Antarctica. We meet two modern day heroes who walked to the pole and Marcus gets his skidoo license.
