Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World


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

Talk about incredible survival stories...talk about serious misery, crazy subzero conditions, a diet of penguin and seals for months, blizzards and toppling icebergs, tippy, leaking lifeboats, and mountaineering feats up and down sheer glacial ice...Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew of 28 men survived against all odds--and then some--during a failed trans-Antarctic expedition in 1915.  This book will truly make you feel lucky to have a warm bed and a hot shower.  Marvel at the photos that somehow survived the many different disasters this brave, strong crew endured...this is a story you will never forget once you hear it.
