Summary

Ernest Shackleton defined heroism in 1915 when his ship, the Endurance, was trapped in ice and then destroyed on its way to Antarctica. This tense week-by-week, month-by-month reconstruction charts the incredible journey undertaken by his crew of 27 men through 850 miles of the southern Atlantic's heaviest seas.

From the publisher

"One book one city, Indy's choice volume 2 ; We are delighted to present this commemorative edition to the Indianapolis community. Exemplifying this year's theme of exploration and discovery, Endruance takes us on a fateful voyage to the ice-bound Antaractic seas. We hope that this tale of heroism and human endurance will spark your imagination and encourage you to discuss it with other Indianapolis residents."
