Synopsis

Written by expedition leader Sir Ernest Shackleton, this account follows the 1914 voyage of Endurance and its 28-man crew as they set out to traverse and chart largely unknown territory around the South Pole. When the ship becomes trapped in ice and later sinks, the narrative turns to the realities of survival in one of the world’s most uninhabitable regions.

Shackleton describes months adrift, a struggle against relentless cold and the threat of starvation, and a hazardous journey covering thousands of miles by lifeboat across rough seas and through landscapes of glaciers and icebergs. The book is presented as a work of history.
