Sir Ernest Shackleton's great-grandson crosses Antarctica in family car
On the 100th anniversary of renowned polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton's attempt to cross the Antarctic continent, his great-grandson has completed the trip in a Hyundai family car.
Patrick Bergel – who attempted the challenge in December 2016 – drove more than 3,500 miles in a modified Hyundai Santa Fe over some of Antarctica's toughest terrain to commemorate Shackleton's Trans-Antarctic expedition and is the first person to complete the challenge in a car.
