Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Not just the story itself but the writing and research and depth of understanding of the men who miraculously survived the expedition. A portrait of leadership if there ever was one. Un-put-downable.

Trigger warnings for lots and lots of animal death and general suffering.

This is a very intense account for Shackleton’s voyage. It started rather slow but I found myself riveted soon after. It’s a very human story that I thoroughly enjoyed. Again, there is a lot of animal death and some cruelty involved so only go into this if you can deal with that.

 An extremely well documented account that reads like Jules Verne. I do wish more time had been spent at the end on the aftermath of the exhibition though.
