Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World: The Extraordinary True Story of Shackleton and the Endurance by Jennifer Armstrong

4.0

Ernest Shackelton, a man famous for his treks across the Antarctic was on his way to traverse the length of the continent when he and his crew were shipwrecked. This book covers the amazing tale of his bravery and leadership as he did everything he could to get himself and his men back to safety.

I knew some details of this story because last year they found the remnants of the endurance, but I had no idea how many close calls the crew had, or how many things had to go right in order for them to survive their ordeal. I thought that this book was well written and engaging and pretty inspiring.
