(  ) picardyrose | Aug 16, 2009 |  I liked this book for the number of photos it had, but I thought "Endurance--Shakletons Incredible Voyage" by Alfred Lansing a better written book. (  ) Mooose | Mar 6, 2009 | Great story of explorer trapped in Antarctic ice who goes on to save all his crew. ( )1  kcslade | Feb 5, 2009 | To have such a complete photographic, as well as written, record of such an adventureous expedition as this, begun in 1914 is just amazing to me! Ms. Alexander does a wonderful job of staying out of the way and letting the story tell itself, while her occasional guidance and expert chronology making this easy reading indeed! This is the kind of book that awakens the adventurer in us all! (  ) jastbrown | Jan 16, 2009 | An absolutely fascinating account of the plight of the Endurance and her crew in their quest to reach the South Pole. The photographs are incredible and the cast of characters equally so. The fact that these men were stranded in Antarctica for months yet suffered not a single lost life is practically unbelievable. Shackleton's leadership was on clear display as he held together a rough band of men through the most difficult ordeal imaginable. A highly recommended read.
