As war clouds darkened over Europe in 1914, a party led by Sir Ernest Shackleton set out to make the first crossing of the entire Antarctic continent via the Pole. But their initial optimism was short-lived as ice floes closed around their ship, gradually crushing it and marooning twenty-eight men on the polar ice. Alone in the world's most unforgiving environment, Shackleton and his team began a brutal quest for survival. And as the story of their journey across treacherous seas and a wilderness of glaciers and snow fields unfolds, the scale of their courage and heroism becomes movingly clear.

What a fantastic account of resilience and perseverance in the face of many challenges while exploring the arctic in the early 1900’s

Amazing

I've read several other accounts of this expedition, but hadn't previously gone straight to the source. Shackleton's writing is a bit drier and more occupied with meteorological detail than later descriptions of the journey, like Alfred Lansing's 1959 Endurance, but any reader who is used to nonfiction from the late 19th and early 20th centuries will easily adjust to the tone and get into the book. And, of course, it gets much more dramatic about 3 hours in, when the Endurance is crushed in the ice and sinks.

Crossley's narration is fantastic, he really brings Shackleton's words to life. It feels like having SIr Ernest in the room with you, telling you his story.

Great narrator for a gripping story

Man's eternal drive to explore and understand the nature of his planetary space ship has never been more eloquently told. Shackleton's genius extends beyond the scientific. Nowhere do you find demonstrated the art of leadership than in the life story of Sir Earnest. A inspiring and rewarding read. LaMar M. Fox, M.D.

A REMARKABLE STORY OF COURAGE AND INNOVATION!

This is an amazing story of adventure made incredibly enjoyable thanks to the narrator. His accent and rhythm made it feel like it was Lord Shackleton himself telling his accomplishments.

What a narrator!

Earnest Shackleton's expedition to Antarctica is an incredible story, and it is really cool to hear it in the authors own words. I must say that it can be hard to follow at times, given my lack of background in naval terminology.

An incredible adventure gone wrong, and then right again.

absolutely engrossing.
These men were unwavering, so positive in the face of monumental difficulties.

a rare tale of grit & determination

About what you'd expect for anyone coming across this book out of reference and respect payed from another. A tad tedious but in a way that drives home the border between monotony and death in such a terrain. I guarantee you at the end of this book it'll be all but impossible not to feel a weight come off your shoulders as the story progresses. Bittersweet but such is life

Quite the tale for those curious

If there were 10 books that one must read during their lifetime this is one. Leadership, courage and a level head with extraordinary leadership. Anyone who leads whether in business or a family can learn from Shackleton's way.

This is a must read.

So as someone who currently serves in the military and travels frequently, I've had this book on my radar for quite awhile. It's a great tale about stoicism, leadership, and staying upbeat when all the odds are against you. But the narrator doesn't vary his voice much if at all, so on longer drives it can get a little monotonous. Also, this might just be me, but there were times parts of the story were retold from a different perspective, and the book (I felt) didn't transition very well between POV's. So that was a little confusing. But overall it's a great story, and frankly should be covered more in history.

Interesting Story, Little Dry Though
