An extraordinary true adventure brought to life

This stunning anniversary edition celebrates one of history's most remarkable survival stories. When Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance became trapped in Antarctic ice during his 1915 expedition, what followed was an incredible tale of courage, leadership, and determination that captivates readers of all ages.

William Grill's masterful coloured pencil illustrations transform this epic journey into a visual feast. From detailed diagrams of the ship's provisions to individual portraits of each sled dog, every page invites careful examination and discovery. The large format gives ample space for Grill's intricate artwork to shine, whilst his thoughtful pacing guides readers through the dramatic highs and lows of this legendary expedition.

This special anniversary edition includes new bonus material and an introduction by explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, making it an even richer experience for curious minds drawn to real-world adventure. Winner of the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal, this book proves that the most compelling stories are often true ones.

Suitable for children aged 7 years and up
