ENDURANCE: SHACKLETON`S INCREDIBLE VOYAGE - Orion

Endurance is a re-creacion of sir Ernst Shackleton's epic adventure in the Antartic-one of the most astonishing feats of exploration and human courage ever recordedIn August 1914 the Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. The object of the expedition was to cross the Antartic overland. In October 1915, still half a continent away from their intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world.The men faced an 850-mile voyage in an open boat across stormiest ocean on the globe and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains. Based on first-hand accounts of those involved, Alfred Lansing tells the harrowing story of their struggle for survival.
