ISBN:  9781780272092 (pbk.) Description:  xiv, 143 p., [48] pages of plates, map, portraits ; 20 cm. Notes:  Introduction by Hugh Andrew, 2000. Summary:  "This is the classic account of Sir Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated Antarctic expedition of 1914-16, told by Frank Worsely, captain of the expedition ship, Endurance. First trapped then crushed by ice, the Endurance drifted in an ice floe for five moths before reaching the barren and inhospitable Elephant Island. Certain that no rescure party would even find them, Shackleton, Worsely and four others set off in a small boat for South Georgia, the nearest inhabited island, leaving behind 22 men whose survival depended on the success of this desperate gamble. In a remarkable feat of courage and fortitude, they made the 800-mile journey in just two weeks under the most appalling conditions imaginable, including hurricane-force winds, fifty-foot waves and sub-zero temperatures. Shackleton's Boat Journey vividly recreates this extraordinary story of survival and paints a vivid portrait of one of the world's greatest explorers."--Back cover.
