Description: This is a thrilling account of one of the most astonishing feats of exploration of human courage ever recorded. In August 1914, the British ship Endurance sailed across the south Atlantic. In October 1915, still halfway away from the intended base, the ship was trapped and then crushed in ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton his men were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world. The author, Lansing, describes how the men survived a 1000 mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean on the planet, and an overland trek through forbidden glaciers and mountains. This book recounts the Shackleton adventure, but ultimately it is the nobility of these men and their unbreakable will that shines through. This is a set of nine CDs-sealed in original plastic. New & unused. The audiobook is read by Simon Prebble, a British born performer. Author Alfred Lansing, was a native of Chicago, Illinois, and worked as a journalist and writer. After serving in the Navy, he majored in journalism at Northwestern University. He died in 1975.
