Hooper provides a straightforward account of Ernest Shackleton's 1915 voyage to Antarctica, the many months his ship was frozen in pack ice, and his valiant (and successful) effort to retrieve help for his marooned crew. The accompanying watercolors competently convey the drama of the situation, while maps on the endpapers trace the journey. A time line, illustrated with photographs, is included.
