You'll be awe-inspired by the heroic efforts of the crew of the Endurance, a ship that battled its way for six weeks through thousands of miles of pack ice while ironically only a day's sail from its destination.

Uno de los grandes clásicos de la narrativa de no ficción. El mejor libro sobre una de las historias más épicas del siglo XX. En diciembre de 1914, sir Ernest Shackleton y una tripulación de veintisiete hombres embarcaron en el Endurance rumbo al Polo Sur, con el objetivo de cruzar por tierra la Antártida, el último continente inexplorado. Un mes más tarde, el barco encallaba en el hielo del mar de Weddel sin poder tocar tierra, en las proximidades del Círculo Polar Antártico.

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. Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean on the globe and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains.

No verão de 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton parte a bordo do Endurance em direção ao Atlântico Sul. O objetivo de sua expedição era cruzar o continente antártico, passando pelo Pólo Sul. Mas, a apenas um dia do ponto de desembarque planejado, o Endurance fica aprisionado num banco de gelo no mar de Weddell e acaba sendo destruído. Através dos diários e entrevistas com alguns membros da expedição, Alfred Lansing reconstrói as dificuldades que a tripulação do Endurance enfrentou.

Am Anfang steht der Plan von der erstmaligen Durchquerung des weißen Kontinents. Doch das Naturwunder Antarktis wird zur Hölle aus Eis...
