One of the greatest survival stories ever told, based on first-hand accounts and interviews with the crew.In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men set sail for the South Atlantic on board a ship called the Endurance. The object of the expedition was to cross the Antarctic overland. 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 most savage regions of the world.This gripping book describes how the men survived, how they lived together in camps on the ice for 17 months until they reached land, and the indefatigability of the crew in the most adverse conditions conceivable.Author: Alfred LansingPublisher: Orion Publishing CoFormat: Paperback, 304 pagesISBN: 9780753809877
