In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton set out to lead the first land crossing of Antarctica. What followed was one of the greatest survival stories in human history. South is Shackleton’s own account of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition — the crushing of the Endurance in pack ice, the harrowing months stranded on the frozen sea, and the extraordinary open-boat journey across 800 miles of the world’s most treacherous ocean. A tale of raw courage, unbreakable leadership, and the indomitable human spirit, South remains the definitive firsthand record of an adventure that has never been equaled.
