KEY POINTS:
Three descendants of legendary Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton and his men completed some "unfinished family business" yesterday when they reached the South Pole. The expedition by Henry Worsley, 47, Will Gow, 35, and Henry Adams, 34, on foot across Antarctica came 100 years after the Anglo-Irish pioneer was forced to turn back 180km from the pole, setting a furthest south record in the process.
