关于此电子书
The Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition was perhaps the most ambitious, elaborate and confident of all the British attempts to master the South Pole. Like the others it ended in disaster, with the Endeavour first trapped and then crushed to pieces in the ice and its crew trapped in the Antarctic, seemingly doomed to a slow and horrible death. In the face of extraordinary odds, Shackleton, the expedition's leader, decided on the only course that might just save them: a 700 nautical mile voyage in a small boat across the ferocious Southern Ocean in the forelorn hope of reaching the only human habitation within range: a small whaling station on the rugged, ice-sheeted island of South Georgia.
South tells the story both of the whole astonishing expedition and of Shackleton's journey to rescue his men - one of the greatest feats of navigation ever recorded.

作者简介
Sir Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922) was probably the greatest of all the Antarctic explorers. He was born in County Kildare, joined the Merchant Navy and was a junior officer in Captain Scott's 1901-4 expedition. He led the British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09), the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-17) and died on the Shackleton-Rowett Expedition (1920-21). South is his record of the second of his expeditions, which culminated in Shackleton's extraordinary rescue of his men through successfully navigating a 20ft lifeboat 720 nautical miles from the edge of the Antarctic to South Georgia.
