Sailing Antarctic seas in a "very unsafe boat"

Preparations are underway for an Antarctic mission in a lifeboat. Australian environmental scientist Tim Jarvis is attempting to retrace the daring voyage of explorer Ernest Shackleton in nothing but this 22-and-a-half-foot boat. After Shackleton's ship got trapped in ice on a 1914 mission to the South Pole, he and several crew members rowed a similar boat 800 miles to get help from a whaling station.
