Polar explorer Fiennes explores the life and adventures of his predecessor, Sir Ernest Shackleton, whose 1915 attempt to traverse the Antarctic was cut short when his ship, Endurance, became trapped in ice. The disaster left Shackleton and his men alone at the frozen South Pole, fighting for their lives.
What The Reviewers Say
Drawing on his own experience, Mr. Fiennes offers a rare perspective.
Ernest Shackleton knew how to tell a good story. So does Ranulph Fiennes.
Fiennes...uses this personal history to inform our understanding of Shackleton’s triumphs and ordeals.
... an insider’s look into a very select club. In a sense, that creates a problem. It is easy to set expectations too high, though Fiennes himself is complicit in this.
