A Yiddish translation by Barry Goldstein of the escape from the ice, the boat journey, and the mountain crossing from Sir Ernest Shackleton's South , the story of the Endurance expedition. With the original English on facing pages.
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.
