About this book

Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, published in 1959, is Alfred Lansing's account of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, which set out in 1914 to cross the Antarctic continent on foot. The expedition ship Endurance was trapped in the pack ice of the Weddell Sea and finally crushed, and the twenty-eight men of the crew spent almost two years struggling to survive.

Lansing builds the story from interviews with surviving members of the expedition and from their diaries. It follows the months on the drifting ice, the escape in small boats and Shackleton's open-boat voyage to South Georgia to get help, and all the men came home alive.

About the author

Alfred Lansing

Ten of the men who came back from Ernest Shackleton's 1914 Antarctic expedition sat down with Alfred Lansing and told him what had happened to them. He read the private diaries of eight more, then wrote the twenty months of pack ice, open boats and the crossing to South Georgia at the pace of a thriller, with almost nothing invented.
