Author(s): Ranulph Fiennes

Australasia + Antarctica

In 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton's attempt to traverse the Antarctic was cut short when his ship, Endurance,became trapped in ice. The disaster left Shackleton and his men alone at the frozen South Pole, fighting for their lives.
Their survival and escape is the most famous adventure in history. Shackleton is an enthralling new account of the adventurer, his life and his incredible leadership under the most extreme of circumstances.
Written by polar adventurer and 'the world's greatest living explorer' Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who brings his own unique insights to bear on the expedition, Shackleton is both re-appraisal and a valediction, separating the man from the myth he has become.
