Description
Book Synopsis: ‘A thrilling reading experience! One of the greatest adventure stories of our times’ – New York Times Book Review.
In 1914 Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men, sailed for the South Atlantic on the ‘Endurance’ with the object of crossing the Antarctic over land. In October 1915, still half a continent away from their intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in ice.
For five months Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the world’s most savage regions. This gripping book based on firsthand accounts of crew members, describes how the men survived, living together in camps on the ice for 17 months, how they were attacked by sea leopards, had to kill their beloved dogs whom they could no longer feed, and suffered disease with no medicines (an operation to amputate the foot of one member of the crew was carried out on the ice). Their extraordinary indefatigability and their lasting civility towards one another in the most adverse conditions shines through.
