The Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition was perhaps the most
ambitious, elaborate and confident of all the British attempts to
master the South Pole. Like the others it ended in disaster, with
the Endeavour first trapped and then crushed to pieces in the ice
and its crew trapped in the Antarctic, seemingly doomed to a slow
and horrible death. In the face of extraordinary odds, Shackleton,
the expedition's leader, decided on the only course that might just
save them: a 700 nautical mile voyage in a small boat across the
ferocious Southern Ocean in the forelorn hope of reaching the only
human habitation within range: a small whaling station on the
rugged, ice-sheeted island of South Georgia. South tells the story
both of the whole astonishing expedition and of Shackleton's
journey to rescue his men - one of the greatest feats of navigation
ever recorded.
