In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton embarked on his most ambitious expedition yet: a trans-Antarctic crossing. The expedition was plagued by misfortune from the start. The ship, the Endurance, became trapped in pack ice and was eventually crushed. Shackleton and his crew were forced to abandon ship and make a perilous journey across the ice to Elephant Island.

From there, Shackleton and five of his men embarked on a small boat to seek help. They sailed for 800 miles across the treacherous Southern Ocean to South Georgia Island. Once there, they trekked across the island's mountainous interior to reach a whaling station.

Shackleton's rescue mission was a remarkable feat of seamanship and endurance. He and his crew faced unimaginable challenges, but they never gave up hope. The Last Antarctic Expedition of Shackleton and the Endurance is a gripping account of their incredible journey.
