Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World

The Extraordinary True Story of Shackleton and the Endurance

De: Jennifer Armstrong

Narrado por: Taylor Mali

It's a survival story almost too incredible to believe, but it's the extraordinary true tale of endurance in the harshest environment on earth. Sir Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men set off from England aboard the ship Endurance, intending to cross Antarctica from one side to the other. Instead, Endurance becomes icebound and sinks 100 miles from land, leaving Shackleton and his men to fight brutal perils on ice, land, and sea...or die trying. Through it all, Shackleton's mission never wavers: "But if you're a leader, a fellow that other fellows look to, you've got to keep going." Narrator Taylor Mali transports the listener into the heart of this death-defying adventure.©1998 by Jennifer Armstrong (P)1996 Brent Thompson; 16 9; 2000 Audio Bookshelf

The best

It is boring in the beginning but at the end and middle is awesome, excellent, exciting, and surprising! Loved it!!!!!!!!!

Surprisingly Good Read

I came into this book having low expectations, I was so into the descriptive writing and the interesting story the men endured. I highly suggest this book.

OMG the best book ever since I read fiction!😁

I’m 12 and I can’t have it better! It’s just awesome 🤩! I am reading 📖 it again!🐟🐚❄️❄️❄️❤️☑️!

Shorter account with some colorful voices

This book is not as exhaustive as the other one on Audible (Endurence), but is still well done and includes some details and insight that the other doesn't. The narrator also tries to immatate the accents of various crew members, so there's Scottish accents, Australian, Cockney, Welsh, Canadian, and so forth. This definitely livens things up quite a bit, although the story is so riveting it doesn't need it.

Incredible journey!!! Inspirational!

I learned so much about glaciers, history of mapping, and seasons in the southern pole and ocean. And was reminded how strong the human body and mind can be. Completely inspired.
