Endurance: Shackletonโs Incredible Voyage
เบเปเบฝเบงเบเบฑเบเบเบถเปเบกเบญเปเบฒเบเบญเบญเบเบชเบฝเบ
This is a new reading of the thrilling account of one of the most astonishing feats of exploration and human courage ever recorded.
In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October, 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world.
Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean in the world and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains. The book recounts a harrowing adventure, but ultimately it is the nobility of these men and their indefatigable will that shines through.

Alfred Lansing (1921โ1975), a native of Chicago, was a journalist and writer. After serving in the US Navy, he majored in journalism at Northwestern University, edited a weekly newspaper until 1949, then joined the United Press, and in 1952 became a freelance writer. He is best known for his book Endurance, an account of Ernest Shackletonโs Antarctic explorations. In researching the book, he interviewed ten of the expeditionโs surviving members and was granted access to the journals and personal diaries of eight others in order to get a more complete view of the expedition.
