Description: Sir Ernest Shackleton was well known for being a daring explorer. He was also a hero. In 1914 he set out from London with 27 crew members aboard the Endurance. His goal was to sail to Antarctica and traverse the continent with dogsleds. But he never got the chance to try, because 100 miles from the South Pole, the Endurance became trapped in a sea of ice. The new goal was to stay alive. Against all odds, Shackleton undertook a journey that led to the rescue of his crew after 20 months of skin-of-their-teeth survival. This true story of the ill-fated voyage is one of the most gripping adventure and survival stories of all time, and one that reluctant readers and adventure-story lovers won't be able to put down.
