In 1914 Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 stalwart individuals
attempted to
undertake what Shackleton described as “the one
remaining great object of Antarctic
/>journeying”—crossing the continent on foot from the
Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea via
the South Pole. While disaster
famously beset the Endurance expedition, Shackleton,
through
extraordinary leadership and dogged, relentless effort, lost none of his
men;
all were saved in 1916.
The legendary tale of how
he accomplished this is still taught in the best military and
/>business schools on the planet. "South!" is the story of the
doomed expedition, straight from the man who led it—Sir Ernest
Shackleton.
This newly illustrated edition includes images
shot by the original expedition photographer Frank Hurley, modern photos
of the places encamped by the expedition, and archival images from
around the world.
