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"-- 650 $a Antarctica $x British. $x British. 650 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Adventurers & Explorers. 650 $a Endurance (Ship) 650 $a HISTORY / Expeditions & Discoveries. 650 $a HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century. 650 $a HISTORY / Polar Regions. 650 $a Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1917) 650 $a Shackleton, Ernest Henry, Sir, 1874-1922 $x Antarctica. $x Antarctica. 941 $a 1 952 $l JDPC145 $d 20190424011929.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=27E90922CC6B11E49C15078FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
