Book of the Month:
The Endurance: This is the story, told for the first time with over 170 original photos, of "one of the greatest epics of survival in the annals of exploration." It tells the story of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, led by renowned polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. The expedition hoped to become the first to cross the Antarctic continent. But their ship, Endurance, was trapped in the drifting pack ice, eventually splintering and leaving the expedition stranded on floes.
The book covers the next 500 days of the ultimate survival feat of their time, and probably ever. Shackleton led his men over the ice floes of the Antarctic during two southern winters, and back to civilisation through extraordinary leadership and resourcefulness. This is a stunning read, you will NOT put the book down. BUY IT! (Recommendation by your friendly webmaster)
