SSOUTH – The Story of Shackleton’s 1914-1917 Expedition. Almost from the start, Shackleton’s last expedition was beset with challenges.

The outbreak of WWI, and the loss of financial help made for a very interesting start. To raise the money, Shackleton approached the usual suspects, including the British Government and the Royal Geographical Society, but most of the public schools in England and Scotland contributed too.

Since Amundsen had already conquered the South Pole, Shackleton felt an expedition that would cross the 1800 mile Antarctic continent would have great historical and scientific value. So, in October 1914, Shackleton and his crew set out on the Endurance.

Unfortunately, it proved to be a very tough winter, and the Endurance ended up being crushed by the ice. He and his crew were standed on Elephant Island. Along the way their captain fell through the ice, some of the crew were stalked by killer whales, and supplies started to run out.

Shackleton decided to get help by taking a small boat across 800 miles of treacherous seas to South Georgia. Despite a very dangerous voyage, Shackleton succeeded, and all his men were rescued.

The book contains lots of very interesting photographs of this incredible journey.

Probably the most evocative narrative of the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration, telling of the survival of Shackleton and his crew under the most extreme circumstances.
