Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who wrote and read the words for the above short, is one adventurer bad ass. He’s a former British SAS officer who has completed a North-South circumnavigation of the planet, attempted a solo trek of the North Pole and even cut off his own frostbitten fingers (rather than waiting for them to heal). In the above video, animated by the British Foreign Office, Fiennes recounts a polar expedition in which, as is common with adventures of that sort, disaster strikes. It’s cool to watch and brings the seriousness of trekking the poles into the animated form — something that’s rarely been done.
