Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage

by Alfred Lansing

In 1914, Shackleton's ship Endurance became trapped in Antarctic pack ice and was slowly crushed. The crew survived on drifting floes, then made an open-boat crossing to find rescue. Lansing's account, drawn from diaries and interviews, reads like a thriller built entirely from fact.
