An authentic account by one of the few men who truly knows what it's like to challenge Antarctica' LORRAINE KELLYTo write about Hell, it helps if you have been there._________In 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton's attempt to traverse the Antarctic was cut short when his ship, Endurance, became trapped in ice - and eventually sank (her resting place finally rediscovered in 2022).What followed became legend.Throughout the long, dark Antarctic winter, Shackleton fights for his life and the lives of his men - enduring freezing temperatures, a perilous lifeboat journey through the ice-strewn sea, and a punishing march across the South Georgia glaciers to seek the one slim chance they have of rescue.Their survival would become history's most enthralling adventure.No previous biographer has experienced even a tiny taste of the polar hell on earth endured by Shackleton and his men. That cannot be said of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who has been described as 'our greatest living explorer'._________'Fiennes brings the promised perspective of one who has been there, illuminating Shackleton's actions by comparing them with his own. It's a tremendous story' Wall Street Journal'Fiennes makes a fine guide on voyage into Shackleton's world . . .
