In August 1914, explorer Ernest Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men set sail for Antarctica with the goal of crossing the continent on foot. However, their ship, the Endurance, became trapped in the ice just 160 kilometers from their destination, leaving the crew stranded. This is the story of their struggle for survival in a hostile environment, a tale of resilience and courage in the face of adversity. The book includes photographs by Frank Hurley, who was part of the crew, documenting the expedition.
