Shackleton's Boat Journey: The Narrative of the Captain of the Endurance (Historical Adventure and Exploration)

A remarkable journey of the 1914 Antarctic expedition, trapped when their ship gets stuck in pack ice. This new, second edition is updated with a new historical introduction and maps. The crew camps on ice floes, floating north for five months, until a small group, including the author, can sail in a lifeboat to get help. Despite the hardships, not a single man was lost.
