Description
Sir Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated expedition to cross the Antarctic continent in 1914 ended in disaster when a ship carrying a vital lifeline of supplies became stranded in the Ross Sea. Ten men were left to fend for themselves with little more than the clothes on their backs and scavenged equipment. The crew of the ship that had set out to support the expedition, meanwhile, battled for survival as they drifted at the mercy of the elements. The story of the lost men is one of incredible courage and determination in the face of impossible odds. With no hope of rescue, they struggled to save themselves and complete their mission. This harrowing account of one of the most infamous expeditions in history is a testament to the power of the human spirit. In "The Lost Men", Kelly Tyler-Lewis tells the story of Shackleton's Ross Sea Party, a tale of survival and adventure that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
