500 Foreword by Alexandra Shackleton.
520 In early 1914, British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton
embarked for the South Pole, hoping to make the first land
crossing of Antarctica. For three years there was no word
from the expedition, and most assumed the men had
perished. Remarkably, however, the crew was alive, thanks
to Shackleton's leadership. After their ship was crushed
by ice and the men trapped on a small island, Shackleton
decided to attempt a risky eight-hundred-mile voyage
across the Southern Ocean. After seventeen days in a
leaking 22.5-foot wooden boat, they reached the remote
island of South Georgia, where they had to climb over
precipitous mountains to reach the whaling station on the
other side. Ultimately, Shackleton was able to rescue all
twenty-two crew members--a heroic triumph of endurance and
leadership. In January 2013, using authentic period
clothing, equipment, and rations, and sailing a precise
replica of Shackleton's boat, Antarctica veteran Tim
Jarvis leads a six-man crew in an attempt to re-create
Shackleton's historic crossings, while documenting the
impact of a century of climate change on the region.
