Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1916 voyage with the Endurance is one of the greatest survival adventures of all time. In August of 1914, Shackleton and 27 crew set sail to cross the Antarctic continent on foot. Before reaching the continent the Endurance was trapped in pack ice and slowly crushed. Over the next 20 months Shackleton and the crew managed to survive, culminating in the 800 mile voyage in the 22-foot open lifeboat James Caird to South Georgia Island which led to their rescue. Listed below are some of the best books on the voyage as well as posters printed from original negatives from the voyage.
