Description
Frank A. Worsley's account of Sir Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated expedition to the Antarctic is a gripping tale of survival and determination.
The Endurance, under Worsley's command, became trapped in ice and was eventually crushed, leaving its crew of twenty-eight to drift on an ice floe for five months. Against all odds, they were rescued by sailing eight hundred miles in a small boat to the island of South Georgia.
This remarkable book offers a firsthand account of Shackleton's leadership and courage under extreme conditions, as well as Worsley's own role in the expedition's survival.
