I actually did not realize this was non-fiction when I picked it up after just a brief glance at the back. I started reading the day before the Endurance was found, which made this story all the more exciting. It took a chapter or two, but after that I was hooked. Sancton did an absolutely phenomenal job turning a collection of scientific findings, sailor’s and officer’s journal entries, specimens, and artifacts into a fully fleshed out adventure/survival tale. I can’t even imagine having to endure the hardships this crew suffered during the long polar night, not to mention being almost completely at the mercy of Mother Nature during their entire entrapment in the ice pack.
