Description
In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton sailed south aboard the Endurance to be the first to cross Antarctica. Shackleton's endeavor is legend, but few know the astonishing story of the Ross Sea party, the support crew he dispatched to the opposite side of the continent to build a vital lifeline of food and fuel depots.
When the Ross Sea ship, the Aurora, broke free of her moorings and disappeared in a gale in 1915, she left 10 men stranded on the continent with only the clothes on their backs and little hope of rescue. Against all odds, the men decided to go forward with their mission, sledging 1,700 miles in a record-setting two-year odyssey. They never imagined that their immense sacrifice was futile, for Shackleton never set foot on the continent, and the Endurance lay crushed at the bottom of the Weddell Sea.
Inexperienced and poorly equipped, the men of the Ross Sea party endured the unspeakable suffering of malnutrition, hypothermia, and extreme weather conditions with fortitude. With their personal journals and previously unpublished documents, Kelly Tyler-Lewis brings us close to these men in their best and bleakest times and revives for us their heroic, astounding story of survival in the most hostile environment on Earth.

Just OK
I have listened to a few books on the Antartic travel, and the ones that stand out include lots of bits, pieces and personal insights from the dairies of the men who did the travels. This book, albeit an intresting piece of history and endurance (no pun intended), just kinda plods along. This book focus's on Shackleton's adventure, but lacks a good deal of his views and comments. Oh humm.

Extraordinary history of perseverance, dedication and endurance. Very inspiring about a man whose grave I visited in South Ge.
Having spent six glorious days on Antarctica, spoiled by the good weather and mingling with the penguins and sea lions, I was overwhelmed by the hardships explorers endured on their expeditions in the severest of conditions. God bless them and may they rest in peace.

The Ice.
Of all the great stories of man’s adventures in the Golden Age” this is one stands out. Having been privileged to work and stand in these historical places I found this story truly inspiring. Well written. Well presented. Thanks.

cold, dark, dirty survival
The less remembered and yet more successful story of the men of Shackleton's Ross Sea party. tremendous, terrifying story of survival in the cold Antarctic.

The other side of the famous failed expedition
This book is a good and worthwhile listen as it provides the completion of the Shackleton story. In this book, I found heroes and frustration. But as this is abridged, I think I missed out on much that would have connected me to the men this book is about.
Bottom line: As information, this is great. As a story, this lacks some character development.
