“The Ship Beneath the Ice: The Discovery of Shackleton’s Endurance” by Mensun Bound (Mariner Books)
The loss of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance is the stuff of legend. She was crushed in the ice of the Weddell Sea in 1915. The subsequent escape of Shackleton and his men is an epic of heroism and survival.
Athy has heard first-hand of the intense excitement and exhilaration experienced when Shackleton’s lost ship was discovered in Antarctica.
Many artefacts he recovered are on exhibition in over a dozen museums around the world
