“The greatest survival story of all time” comes to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Shackleton’s Antarctic Adventure brings the true story of an epic struggle for existence to the Phipps IMAX® Theater. Stranded and hopeless at the bottom of the world, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his twenty-seven-man crew endured the harshest living conditions imaginable, surviving on the barren ice floes of Antarctica during the turn of the century.

Through perseverance and teamwork not one man was lost during the more than one and a half year ordeal.
