At sixteen, Irishman Ernest Shackleton left school, joined the navy and became
a legendary explorer. His extraordinary adventures in the Antarctic have
thrilled generations. Here, for the first time, a best-selling author on Polar
exploration writes about Shackleton s gripping exploits especially for
children. This inspiring story of Shackleton, whose men called him The Boss ,
involves four expeditions to the snow and ice of Antarctica over 20 years
between 1901 and 1922. His adventures included a breathtaking march to within a
few miles of the South Pole and the amazing saga of survival on the famous
Endurance expedition.
