the story of Shackleton's last expedition 1914-1917 By Sir Ernest Shackleton South! The Story of Shackleton's Last Expedition 1914-1917 is the factual blow-by-blow narrative of the ill-fated polar expedition of the Endurance from the mouth of the Captain, Sir Ernest Shackleton himself. Part adventure tale, part story of survival, the British explorer's detailed journal is one of the most gripping tales of heroism and survival in the face of almost certain death to have ever been told.

South: The Endurance Expedition

Barnes&Noble

South is Captain Ernest Shackleton's account of his expedition in 1914 to Antarctica on the HMS Endurance. It is an inspiring tale of the remarkable courage and heroism of Shackleton and his crew in the face of seemingly insuperable odds as they attempt to be the first to cross the continent from sea to sea. Due to the wreck of the Endurance they failed to achieve this goal. But the real story in South is the heroic effort to save the crew, which, because of Shackleton's fabled leadership, was in fact a monumental success. Above all, South is a testament to the power of the bonds of human loyalty. Includes 24 of the expedition's original photographs.

Konecky and Konecky

Ernest Shackleton led two Antarctic expeditions, and died shortly after the beginning of the third. His first expedition was not a total success (they did not reach the South Pole), and the second was, in some senses, a total failure (they never reached the Antarctic mainland at all). Yet it is the second for which he is remembered. His expedition ship Endurance was trapped, then crushed in the ice, before his party could be landed, leaving his men in a hopeless situation. For months Shackleton held his party together before taking to boats and bringing everyone to safety to Elephant Island. His open-boat journey to South Georgia, and the eventual rescue of the party left behind, are now legendary. Visitors to Shackleton s grave in South Georgia, stepping over the lounging elephant seals that keep the dead company, pay homage to the man who had the vision, bravery and strength to open up Antarctica for all who followed. Shackleton showed the flame of leadership as few in the history of exploration have done, and nowhere does this come through more clearly than in the two accounts in this volume.
