Burying explorer Henry Worsley
His friend General Sir Nick Carter remembers the explorer's bravery
It's almost two years since the British explorer Henry Worsley came within touching distance of completing the first ever solo, unaided crossing of Antarctica. But he had to be rescued only 30 miles from the end of his journey and died just before he could be flown out.
Now Henry Worsley's family are going out to the Antarctic to bury his ashes. The head of the British Army, General Sir Nick Carter, was Henry Worsley's best man and a friend for over 30 years.
