Title: Outstanding!
Review: Ernest Shackleton is little known today, yet during the early part of this century was one of the leading figures of Antartic exploration. In modest, self-deprecating terms Shackleton describes the ordeal of his crew as they struggle for survival after being stranded in the Antartic after their ship is crushed by ice.In an era without reliable long distance communications, or modern equipment, 28 men managed to survive nearly two years in the frozen Antartic. Even more amazing, Shackleton and 5 companions crossed over 800 miles of some of the worlds roughest ocean in a 22 foot boat to bring help for the rest of the party.Having read Alfred Lansing's work "Endurance" this personal memoir by Shackleton also includes a description of the southern party, which was waiting in vain for him on the other side of Antartic.Shackleton and his party of 28 accomplished one of the most amazing examples of man's fortitude and indomitable courage. Somebody please make a MOVIE!
