This is a new reading of the thrilling account of one of the most astonishing feats of exploration and human courage ever recorded.

In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October, 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world.

Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean in the world and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains. The book recounts a harrowing adventure, but ultimately it is the nobility of these men and their indefatigable will that shines through.

I have listened to 53 audiobooks since December 2020 and the Endurance has surpassed all previous books that I have enjoyed. I didn’t know if I would enjoy this book because it isn’t my usual type of book but I swear to you, you will not be disappointed. I finished the book in record time and cried at the end. Fabulous performance by Simon Prebble.

Wow. Buy this audiobook!
