Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage

True story of a premiere adventurer to the White Continent. Good preview to Antarctic travel.

Normally, a true account of an antarctic expedition in 1915 would not be at the top of my reading list, but I was intrigued after hearing a friend discussing Ernest Shackleton one night.

I found this to be an extremely interesting and well written account of a group of British explorers lead by Shackleton. The hardships that they face and the way they keep going is unbelievable. You will keep asking yourself if this story could possibly by true! All I could think while reading this book was that I will never complain about anything again!

If you want an exciting, well written book that reads almost like a novel, and will most likely stay with you for life, then check this one out. Even if you are not a huge fan of adventure, I think you will find a lot to like about this book.

the adventure stories to end all adventure stories. If you like adventure, travel stories then this is the # 1 book of all.

Can you imagine the feeling that Shackleton and the men had when they sighted him and he counted all 22 men alive.

I didn't receive the Item yet. once I receive it I will give my review. I'm expecting to recieve the Item by January 23rd.

This is the older edition, and it's much cheaper, (around $2), but it's no different than the newer versions, besides the cover design.

It's a great book, very entertaining. It takes a while to get into it, but it's an amazing story of survival over nature, prevailing against the odds, and excellend leadership.

The "Odyssey" of our time.

Highly reccomended.
