Now that Hollywood is officially planning a feature film on Sir Ernest Shackleton, the only question that remains is: what took them so long? Here is a man who made several unsuccessful attempts to reach the South Pole, but who is best known for an epic, heroic, incredible journey in 1916 that ranks among the greatest feats in the history of exploration. When his ship, the Endurance, was wrecked and his crew stranded on a desolate island, Shackleton determined that his only hope for rescue was to reach a British outpost on South Georgia Island...800 miles away across some of the most dangerous seas to be found on earth. Using rare photographs taken by a survivor of the shipwreck, as well as graphic paintings of the voyage to South Georgia Island, Shackleton's Boat Journey captures and conveys the excitement of this daring adventure, which--as Caroline Alexander's best-selling 1999 book Endurance proves--continues to thrill and amaze people.
