In 2015, 55-year-old Henry Worsley embarked on a mission: To walk across Antarctica alone. Descended from an associate of Ernest Shackleton, who attempted to be the first person to reach the South Pole and later to cross Antarctica on foot, Worsley was, some say, a man obsessed with completing his ancestor's thwarted missions. In The White Darkness, bestselling author David Grann (Killers of the Flower Moon, Lost City of Z) once again weaves together a sweeping story of exploration, scientific discovery, and mystery. Join Grann as he shares the details of Worsley's spellbinding journey of courage, love, and what happens when a man pushes himself to the extremes of human capacity.
