Notes

Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance has been crushed by the ice! Shackleton wanted to be the first to walk across the Antarctic continent. Now he and his 27 men are stranded on the ice floes in the middle of the frozen ocean. Courageously they begin planning their escape. No one can rescue them. They will have to save themselves. Meredith Hooper, winner of the prestigious Antarctica Service Medal, brings vividly to life one of the greatest stories of adventure and survival ever.
