About this listen

 The year was 1915. Equipment and food supplies were totally inadequate. After battling its way for six weeks through thousands of miles of pack ice and located only a day's sail from its destination, the Endurance became locked inside an island of ice. Yet Ernest Shackleton enabled all 27 of his men to survive for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas - leadership without equal. This gripping account is based on contemporaneous diaries and interviews conducted by the author with these exceptional men.©1959 Alfred Lansing (P)2000 by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp.

Such a great story and told so well. Another review summed it up really well - it’s told like a novel and the story is so incredible, you need to remind yourself that it actually happened!

Whilst I knew that there was a man called Ernest Shackleton who was an explorer I didn’t know any of his story. What a story! It was the best audio book I have ever listened to and such an incredible story you can’t believe it’s true. Piggot Smith nails the narration beautifully too.

Gripping and beautifully read
