Episode 212: The Ernest Shackleton Expedition

Led by a fearless Ernest Shackleton, the goal of this expedition is nothing short of legendary: to be the first humans to cross the entire Antarctic continent and reach the South Pole! But what follows would be anything but expected. This is not only an unimaginable tale of survival and isolation, but it’s also a warning of supernatural phenomena that haunts the planet’s least populated continent, even today. Is Antarctica empty because of a harsh climate and lonely location, or is there something else more sinister keeping humanity away? Today’s episode will divulge all of The Shackleton Expedition’s findings- haunted survival records, ghosts, aliens, the occult, and even a Nazi conspiracy theory—this is one trip you will never forget. Buckle up kids because today we are talking about The Ernest Shackleton Expedition!
