In January 1915, after battling its way for six weeks through a thousand miles of pack ice and now only a day's sail short of its destination, the Endurance became locked in an island of ice. For ten months the ice-moored Endurance drifted northwest before it was finally crushed. But for Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men the ordeal had barely begun. It would end only after a near-miraculous journey by Shackleton and a skeleton crew through over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization. This astonishing tale of survival by Shackleton and all twenty-seven of his men for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas, as Time magazine put it, "defined heroism." Alfred Lansing's brilliantly narrated book has long been acknowledged as the definitive account of the Endurance's fateful trip"-- 600 10 $a Shackleton, Ernest Henry, $c Sir, $d 1874-1922 $x Travel $z Antarctica. 610 20 $a Endurance (Ship) 650 0 $a Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition $d (1914-1917) 651 0 $a Antarctica $x British. $x British. 941 $a 6 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011305.0 952 $l PFPC906 $d 20220411132727.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20220223010127.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200711010547.0 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20190814151708.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20180302010530.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=67ACB2901DE711E88A9C381B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
