Endurance recounts the 1914-16 Antarctic expedition led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, told in vivid first-person by the ship's captain. When the Endurance becomes trapped in pack ice, the crew mount an 800-mile ordeal across ocean, ice and rugged terrain to reach safety.

Focused on leadership, seamanship and improvisation, the narrative blends navigation detail, shipboard life and the strategies that sustained a small crew through extreme conditions. Readers find concrete examples of decision-making under pressure and the logistics of polar travel.

Recommended for readers of exploration history and maritime memoirs, this concise chronicle from W. W. Norton & Company highlights endurance, teamwork and rescue in one of the great Antarctic expeditions.
