This is a rare first-hand glimpse of the human endurance told by one of the most important figures in the history of polar exploration.

In the book, traverse the Antarctic continent with the expedition group, from their initial moments of optimism through to the gradual approach of the ice field and final abandonment of their ship, the Endurance, in the unforgiving polar ice.

It is an amazing story of the breathtaking and seemingly endless struggle against the elements, a brutal quest for survival.
