On its way to the Antarctic continent the \u003cem\u003eEndurance\u003c\/em\u003e became trapped and then crushed by ice, and the ship's party of twenty-eight drifted on an ice floe for five months. Finally reaching an uninhabited island, Shackleton, Worsley, and four others sailed eight hundred miles in a small boat to the island of South Georgia, an astounding feat of navigation and courage. All hands survived this ill-fated expedition; as Worsley writes, \"By self-sacrifice and throwing his own life into the balance, [Shackleton] saved every one of his men . . . although at times it had looked unlikely that one could be saved.\" \"This remarkable book . . . shows [Shackleton] both luckless and lucky, and supremely cool and courageous throughout. Worsley writes without heroics . . . but makes us feel to the marrow the conditions that the party endured before all hands were rescued.\"--\u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e \"Worsley's account of that journey is a breath-taking story of courage, skill and determination under the most appalling conditions.\"--Sir Edmund Hillary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 8.28 x 5.58 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 17, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42724099326015,"sku":"9780393318647","price":27.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/85157fa7beefe91f730cc9181b99857f_788c4b4a-0b80-4f5f-b99b-2ca7832fea19.webp?v=1765101480","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/shackletons-boat-journey-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
