About this listen

This is a new reading of the thrilling account of one of the most astonishing feats of exploration and human courage ever recorded.

In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world.

Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean on the globe and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains. The book recounts a harrowing adventure, but ultimately it is the nobility of these men and their indefatigable will that shines through.

Critic Reviews

Nominee, 2008 Audie Award, Nonfiction, Unabridged

"[O]ne of the most extraordinary tales of heroism and determination in the history of exploration.... Prebble's narration will bring to life the despair, elation, and sheer will of these men to survive, and to triumph, together." (AudioFile)

Most relevant

This book is an epic journey, a story that is an incredible tale of Shackleton and his 27 men's fight for survival and getting out safe and alive from the cold, harsh and unlivable southernmost continent on planet. These men endured hardships and difficulties beyond imaginable. It's a story of human will and determination beyond everything else.

The book is detail oriented and so well written that you would live the book with these 28 men. You would travel, eat, endure, believe and be heartbroken as if you were the 29th person of the party. The book is un-put-down-able. You will be on a pilgrimage of sort while reading it. Moving and marvelous.
