    Description 1st UK Edition; x, 212 pages, illustrated, 142 b/w photographs, many by Hurley. Original covers in pictorial unclipped dust jacket. A photographic record of one of the greatest survival stories ever. Shackleton's journey to the Antarctic in the ship Endurance in 1914, where they became entombed in ice. A collection of photographs taken by Hurley during the voyage, the break up of the 'Endurance', the subsequent drift for five months on an ice flow and the landing on Elephant Island: The fact that these glass plate negatives survived the ordeal is remarkable in itself. Rosove 6: "What makes this volume especially appealing is the comprehensive collection of Frank Hurley's photographs from Shackleton's Endurance Expedition (1914-1917), some previously unpublished, beautifully reproduced in fine resolution on thick, high quality, high-reflectance white paper."
