Discover the truth about "ENDURANCE" in this remarkable true story of adventure, shipwrecks, storms, and survival on the open sea.
"ENDURANCE" is the story of one of the most astonishing feats of exploration and human endurance ever recorded. In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men set sail for the South Atlantic with the ship Endurance, aiming to cross Antarctica.
In this book, based on firsthand accounts from crew members and interviews with survivors, it details how the men survived, how they lived in camps on the ice for 17 months until reaching land, the attacks by sea leopards, the diseases they developed, and the indomitable determination of the men, as well as their continued civilized behavior towards each other under the most adverse conditions.
