Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing is a gripping account of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s harrowing 1914 expedition to the Antarctic. After Shackleton’s ship, Endurance, becomes trapped and crushed by pack ice, he and his crew are stranded in one of the most hostile environments on Earth. Shackleton’s leadership and unbreakable spirit drive him to embark on a desperate journey to save his men. Lansing’s narrative, drawn from interviews and diaries of the crew, vividly portrays the courage, resilience, and camaraderie that defined their epic fight for survival against the brutal elements. This classic true adventure embodies the power of hope, determination, and the human will to survive.
