Very soon, things started to take an unexpected turn when the ship got trapped in the pack ice, immobilizing the ship and getting the crew trapped over 60 miles away from the original landing destination. The crew started their journey in November 1914. The book starts with the recruitment of the 27 crew members, the process of getting the ship, and starting a journey from the United Kingdom to the island of South Georgia, which was the starting point of the expedition. For that purpose, the crew used “Endurance,” a ship built for hunting polar bears, with the goal to transport the crew along with the dogs and sledge which would be used to travel across the continent once the ship docks. In November 1914, the expedition of 28 people, led by Ernest Shackleton, started its journey to the Antarctic, intending to become the first expedition to cross the Antarctic continent successfully. Boarded on “Endurance,” the ship intended to get them to the Antarctic, the book documents the series of unfortunate events that unfolded in from of the crew and how they managed to find their salvation without losing a single human life. The book tells the story of a group of explorers led by Ernest Shackleton and the group of 27 men on a journey to become the first group of humans to cross the Antarctic continent.
