SIR ERNEST HENRY SHACKLETON (1874-1922)

South : the story of Shackleton's last expedition, 1914-1917

1919

RCIN 1124415

This account of the Endurance expedition was based on extensive interviews with Shackleton and the diaries of his fellow explorers. Shackleton found the recollection of the ordeal extremely painful, and often insisted that he could not go through with it. The striking cover illustration derives from Hurley’s midwinter photograph of Endurance.
