Product Description

A remarkable journey of the 1914 Antarctic expedition, trapped when their ship gets stuck in pack ice. This new, second edition is updated with a new historical introduction and maps. The crew camps on ice floes, floating north for five months, until a small group, including the author, can sail in a lifeboat to get help. Despite the hardships, not a single man was lost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shackleton's boat journey, December 12, 2007
By Aaron Shutt (Jackson, MI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is an interesting first hand account of the Shackleton expedition and their journey by small boat to South Georgia Island. As a narrative by the captain of the Endurance, it can make for laborious reading, as it is not written as a spell-binding novel. As well, it requires some basic foreknowledge of the Shackleton expedition; their mission and the result. The Endurance sinks on the first page of this book, so there is really no background information about the expedition. If you know nothing about Shackleton, you probably should read a more comprehensive history before you read this book. If you already know a bit about it, though, this narrative provides an interesting look at their boat journey from the perspective of the captain. The details of the journey are clearly understated, but you can still gain a glimpse of the horrors of the voyage by reading between the lines. This was a nearly impossible journey, completed by tough and capable men who triumphed against the odds. The story is awe-inspiring and powerful, just make sure you have some background knowledge before you read it.
