Discovery

43MIN

Rob Bell boards the ship that kick-started the age of polar exploration, the Royal Research Ship Discovery. The world’s first purpose-built scientific vessel, her bold journey to the most inhospitable continent on the planet, Antarctica, propelled Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton into the ranks of the world’s most famous explorers.

With access to the diaries of Discovery’s backers, Rob tells the incredible story of how a chance meeting in London would define the course of polar exploration.
