» Endurance

Sir Ernest Shackleton and twenty-seven men set out to cross Antarctica. But the sea froze around their ship, crushing it. After months camped on the ice, six of them brave 1300 kilometres of wild, freezing ocean in a lifeboat to seek help. This is the story of one of the most amazing feats of survival in human history.
