Endurance

Shackleton's Incredible Voyage
Book • 1959
This book details the almost two-year struggle for survival of the 28-man crew of the Endurance, which was beset and eventually crushed by ice floes in the Weddell Sea during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-1917.

The crew drifted on ice floes, salvaged lifeboats, and eventually reached Elephant Island.

Shackleton then led a perilous journey to South Georgia Island to secure rescue, culminating in one of the most remarkable survival stories in history.

Lansing's narrative is based on extensive research, including interviews with surviving crew members and access to their diaries and personal accounts.
