    In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October, 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world.

    Story

    I did finish it, but it was a tedious read for me. I had seen this book recommended in Forbes. Understand that the story follows the true diary of events. So...with relavely few twists or turns in the plot you have cold starving men, worrying about the ice, killing some dogs for food, killing some penguins, killing some more dogs, finding more penguins and so on for a long time. I will say that I developed a fondness for the character Shackleton, the crew's captain and I appreciated his leadership skills. He was a great man and a great leader.
