An adventurer is preparing for one of the world’s most dangerous rows in the Antarctic in honour of the “forgotten hero” of Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance voyage – just months after undergoing open heart surgery.
Jamie Douglas-Hamilton is also hoping to raise more than £100,000 for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) when he and five others undertake the 950-mile journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia on January 10.
