Endurance; Shackleton's incredible voyage

Book • 1959
The book narrates 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 in 1915.

The crew had to endure extreme conditions, including living on pack ice, launching small boats into the Southern Ocean, and making a perilous journey to Elephant Island and eventually to South Georgia.

The story is based on personal diary accounts and interviews with the surviving members of the expedition, providing a detailed and gripping account of their ordeal.
