The Ship Beneath the Ice by Mensun Bound

Title: The Ship Beneath the Ice

Author: Mensun Bound

Review: In terms of maritime historical narratives, I think you’d be hard-pressed to find anything more compelling than the story of Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition and his lost ship, the Endurance. This narrative covers both the details of Shackleton’s 1914 expedition and two modern attempts to locate the Endurance in the Weddell Sea. It tells a story of survival, courage, and perseverance in the face of seemingly impossible odds, and I can’t recommend it enough!
