Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In November 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton watched horrified as the grinding floes of the Weddell Sea squeezed the life from his ship, Endurance, before letting her slip silently down to her last resting place. Caught in the chaos of splintered wood, buckled metalwork and tangled rigging lay Shackleton's dream of being the first man to complete the crossing of Antarctica. Shackleton would not live to make a second attempt but his dream lived on. Shackleton's Dream tells for the first time the story of the British Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, led by Vivian Fuchs and Sir Edmund Hillary. Forty years after the loss of Endurance, they set out to succeed where Shackleton had so heroically failed. Using motor-sledges and converted farm tractors, they faced a colossal challenge: a perilous 2,000-mile journey across the most demanding landscape on the planet, where temperatures can plunge to a staggering -900C and bitter katabatic winds rush down from the high Polar Plateau. This epic adventure saw two giants of twentieth-century exploration pitted not only against Nature at her most hostile, but also against each other. From their coastal bases on opposite sides of Antarctica, the two leaders pushed south, the expedition developing into a dramatic 'Race to the South Pole'. AUTHOR: Stephen Haddelsey is the author of two books for The History Press, Ice Captain: The Life of Joseph Russell Stenhouse, and Born Adventurer: The Life of Frank Bickerton, Antarctic Pioneer. He has also contributed to six titles in the Penguin Historical Atlas series. He lives in Nottinghamshire. 30 b/w illustrations The first book to reveal the dramatic true story of the crossing of Antarctica Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
