Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In 1914, Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton set sail aboard his ship Endurance, leading twenty-eight men in an audacious attempt to cross the antarctic continent. The story of their survival, against all odds, remains one of the most gripping and inspiring dramas of the twentieth century.

This volume charts the achievements of Shackleton and his contemporaries, Amundsen, Scott, Wilson, and others, as they attempted the exploration of the continent of ice. Richly illustrated throughout with historical photos, this large-scale paperback is an enthralling introduction to a perennially fascinating topic.
