Endurance: la prisión blanca

Synopsis of Endurance: la prisión blanca

In December 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton and a crew of twenty-seven men set sail from South Georgia for the South Pole aboard the Endurance, with the aim of crossing Antarctica, the last unexplored continent, by land. However, a month later, with temperatures as low as 35 degrees Celsius below zero, the ship became trapped in the ice of the Weddell Sea, near the Antarctic Circle. For more than a year, the Endurance remained moored to the ice, drifting northwest, until it was finally crushed by the force of the ice. During that time, Shackleton and his crew survived adrift on the ice in one of the most inhospitable regions of the world, before they could set sail again. 'Endurance: la prisión blanca' tells the incredible story of survival and leadership in extreme conditions.
