Description:
•‘A breathtaking story of courage under the most appalling conditions’ SIR EDMUND HILLARY.

•Illustrated with the rare and often forgotten illustrations of the voyage of the James Caird drawn by official expedition artist George Marston.

•‘Makes us feel to the marrow the conditions that the party endured before all hands were rescued… remarkable’ THE NEW YORKER.

The harrowing first hand account by Frank Worsley of how the men of the 'Endurance', which sank crushed by ice in South Latitude 69, made their way in three small boats through the scattering floes to Elephant Island.
It was from this island that Shackleton, Worsley and four others embarked on the 16-day journey that belongs for all time to the history of these seas, bringing the open boat, James Caird, over 800 miles through squall and hurricane to South Georgia. There they tramped across the ice and snow and rocky heights of the almost unknown interior to a whaling station, from which they set out to rescue the men they had left behind. Few could read the story of these triumphant exploits by land and sea without a stirring of the blood.
Frank Worsley’s part in this epic voyage was pivotal, it was his feat of navigation and seamanship that made the extraordinary boat journey possible.
