In 1914, as Europe braces for an unfathomably deadly war, explorer
Sir Ernest Shackleton sets sail for Antarctica to do the
impossible: traverse the continent. He has a ship (the aptly named
Endurance), a head brimming with optimism, and 28 men willing to
follow him on an expedition across some of the most treacherous
terrain on the planet. But Shackleton's optimism doesn't last long.
Despite his experience in the Antarctic, disaster strikes early on
when the Endurance is trapped in packed ice and slowly crushed,
forcing Shackleton and his men off the ship and stranding them in a
sea of ice.
"South" is the legendary story of Shackleton and his crew's
struggle to survive the elements and return home alive. Written by
Shackleton, "South "is a truly astonishing story of human
fortitude. It is the story of a voyage that lasts nearly three
years--a firsthand account of hurricane-force winds, subzero
temperatures, glaciers, icebergs, freezing water, starvation, and
lethal, terrifying storms. It is a tale unlike any to come before
or since. Shackleton's record of his journey made him famous around
the world and transformed him into a symbol of achievement and hope
in an age of darkness and war.
