Description
Ernest Shackleton's 1914 expedition to reach the South Pole is one of the greatest adventure stories of the modern age. Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men set sail for Antarctica on the Endurance, but their journey was marked by disaster from the start.
After battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice, the Endurance was finally crushed between two ice floes. The crew's survival depended on a near-impossible journey over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization. Alfred Lansing's account of this harrowing and miraculous voyage is a testament to the crew's endurance and Shackleton's leadership.
