South - The Story of Shackleton's Last Expedition

This ranks as one of the most harrowing and remarkable rescues in the history of human adventure and exploration. In 1914 Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance was crushed by encroaching ice floes on its way to the Antarctic. Shackleton’s original plan was the walk across the Antarctic Continent (larger than Australia), but instead he soon faced keeping his crew alive and safely home in the most dangerous and godforsaken region on earth. The story of how members of the expedition survived is one for the ages, with breathtaking original photos by Frank Hurley capturing the experience every step of the way.
