You'll be awe-inspired by the heroic efforts of the crew of the Endurance, a ship that battled its way for six weeks through thousands of miles of pack ice while ironically only a day's sail from its destination.

In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October, 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world.

Uno de los grandes clásicos de la narrativa de no ficción. El mejor libro sobre una de las historias más épicas del siglo XX. En diciembre de 1914, sir Ernest Shackleton y una tripulación de veintisiete hombres embarcaron en el Endurance rumbo al Polo Sur, con el objetivo de cruzar por tierra la Antártida, el último continente inexplorado. Un mes más tarde, el barco encallaba en el hielo del mar de Weddel sin poder tocar tierra, en las proximidades del Círculo Polar Antártico.
