Description

Sir Ernest Shackleton's Incredible Expedition is a gripping account of one of the most heroic and perilous journeys in Antarctic exploration history. In August 1914, Shackleton set off from England with a team of explorers to walk across the Antarctic, but their journey took a disastrous turn when their ship, the Endurance, became trapped in the deadly pack ice of the Weddell sea. The crew was forced to abandon ship and make a desperate journey across the crushing sea in lifeboats, eventually reaching the relative safety of Elephant Island. But Shackleton and five other crew members faced an even greater peril as they attempted to lead a rescue mission to save their stranded companions. Meredith Hooper brings this incredible story to life with her expert knowledge and M.P. Robertson's dramatic illustrations.
