The Endurance was beset in the Weddell Sea, drifted for ten months and was crushed. What followed is Shackleton’s own account: the camps on the floes, the open-boat passage to Elephant Island, the eight-hundred-mile crossing to South Georgia in the James Caird, and the traverse of its unmapped mountains — with every man alive at the end.

The most extraordinary survival narrative ever written, by the man who led it. Download the free EPUB.
