    Title South: The Story of Shackleton's Last Expedition 1914 - 1917
    Publishing Information London: Pimlico Random House,1999 9780712664127
    Description 1st UK Softcover Edition: 208 pages, illustrated b/w photos, maps. Shackleton's South is one of the great books of exploration. Written by a national hero, about what he called 'the last great journey on earth' - his Antarctic expedition in which his ship, the Endurance, was crushed by the ice, and he and his men made a 600-mile trek across ice and ocean to solid land. They then embarked on a 700-mile journey in an open boat to South Georgia, followed by an epic crossing of the uncharted mountains of that island. His account is superbly written, and the book has never ceased to enthral readers since it was first published in 1919.
