About Lieutenant-Col. Henry Worsley

Henry Worsley was a British explorer and British Army officer. He was part of a 2009 expedition that retraced Ernest Shackleton's footsteps in the Antarctic.

Worsley died in 2016 while attempting to complete the first solo and unaided crossing of the Antarctic. He trekked more than 900 miles (1450 km) but was forced by exhaustion and ill health to call for help 126 miles (200 km) from his journey's intended end. He was rescued and flown to a hospital in Punta Arenas, Chile, but had developed peritonitis, and died the following day. (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0)
