Synopsis

In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October, 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world.

If I could give this 6 or 7 stars, I would. THE BEST book of this type I have listened to in a very, very long time. I listen to books on CD on my commute and this was one of the best in all the years I've listened to them. When it was over, I could only drive in stunned silence, amazed at what this group of men endured. Driving in my warm car and ordering an Egg McMuffin was stark contrast to the hardships these men endured and made me appreciate my comforts even more. How they made it, I have no idea, but this middle-aged woman would not have made it 10 days out on the ice, much less through even one of the storms and other hazards they lived through.
