Narrator Simon Prebble

This is a new reading of the thrilling account of one of the most astonishing
feats of exploration and human courage ever recorded.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. Lansing
describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across
the stormiest ocean on the globe and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers
and mountains. The book recounts a harrowing adventure, but ultimately it is the
nobility of these men and their indefatigable will that shines through.
