Bound for Antarctica, where polar explorer Ernest Shackleton planned to cross on foot the last uncharted continent, the Endurance set sail from England, in August 1914. The ship became locked inside an island of ice, and was later crushed. This tale of survival by Shackleton and all 27 of his men for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctice seas defined heroism.

Review of 'Endurance' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Anteriormente leí el diario de Shackleton, pero como este libro es el fruto de entrevistas y diarios de otros miembros de la tripulación, creo que esto es más completo en cuanto a perspectivas de la historia.

Además de que Lansing sabe narrativa.

Pero la versión de Shackleton incluye la experiencia paralela de quienes se embarcaron en el Aurora
