What If The Martian Never Made It Home?
British explorer Henry Worsley dies crossing Antarctic, 30 miles short of goal, CNN
“Worsley’s last statement sent from Antarctica said: “The 71 days alone on the Antarctic with over 900 statute miles covered and a gradual grinding down of my physical endurance finally took its toll today, and it is with sadness that I report it is journey’s end — so close to my goal.”
Was he in any way related to Frank Worsley? (Shackleton’s captain and fellow explorer)
Yes, I read on the BBC that they were distant relations…could not find any more info.
Also the first explorer to follow both the Amudsen and Scott/Shackleton routes to the pole. Outrageous attempt – sorry it had to end this way.
