Description

Book Synopsis
Twenty-eight men stood on a desolate Antarctic ice floe one thousand miles from the nearest human contact. In a few months the ice would melt. To survive they would have to be safely on land before that happened–if they did not starve first. The odds were stacked against them. The single advantage they did have, however, proved decisive. They were led by Ernest Shackleton.
