Jane McDonald: From Pole to Pole S01E02 - Episode 2

In this second episode, Jane's not-for-the-fainthearted voyage continues to the British Overseas territories of South Georgia and the Falklands Islands. She follows in the footsteps of famous explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, learns about our brutal whaling history and celebrates conservation victories, while meeting people who've chosen to settle in some of the remotest outposts on earth.

Sailing from the Antarctic peninsula to the South Georgia Islands, Jane reconnects with civilization, starting in Grytviken, meeting a museum curator on the site of an historic whaling station. Then she follows in the footsteps of renowned explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton to learn more about his daring missions.

At Fortuna Bay, Jane comes face-to-face with the ten thousand King Penguins, discovers a safe haven for former whalers and explorers and shares tips on staying warm in extreme weather, before heading to the Falkland Islands.

Jane immerses herself in the Port Stanley community, enjoying a delicious afternoon tea that showcases locally grown produce, meets singers from the most southerly Military Wives Choir in the world. And, back onboard her yacht, shares tips on how she keeps her skin healthy in the most challenging climates.

On a Saunders Island sheep farm, Jane rounds up the herd on a quad bike and has a go at shearing. And then, inspired by her epic expedition, Jane breaks into song in one of the most remote – and spectacular – places she's ever performed on the planet. Then her Pole To Pole journey continues to South America and Uruguay.
