The first unsupported expedition to the South Pole from Ross Island was achieved by Henry Worsley, Will Gow and Henry Adams (all UK), in January 2009.

The team members, descendents of Shackleton's team or his family, took 66 days to complete the explorer's route, 100 years after he abandoned it.

The trio celebrated Christmas Day as their forebears did 100 years before, with cigars and a spoonful of creme de menthe.

This record was confirmed by the Polar Expeditions Classification Scheme (PECS).
