About the author

Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874-1922) was an Anglo-Irish merchant naval officer who made his reputation as an explorer during what is known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, a period of discovery characterised by journeys of geographical and scientific exploration in a largely unknown continent, without any of the benefits of modern travel methods or radio communication.

Reviews

[Dean · Rating 4 out of 5]

It quickly tells the story of the ill-fated Endurance, shipwrecked at the South Pole, and with photos.
A good companion book to other Endurance books, but for someone that wants the story quick, albeit incomplete in many ways, it's an okay book to read.
