Trial by Ice: A Photobiography of Sir Ernest Shackleton

64 pp. | National | October, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-7922-7393-1 $$17.95
(3) 4-6 Following the Antarctic explorations of Shackleton, the book emphasizes his 1914 trek to the South Pole in which his ship, the Endurance, became frozen in ice and was destroyed. The text is adequate; far more compelling are the two-tone archival photographs showing the intrepid explorers and their doomed vessel trapped in a world of ice and snow. A time line is included. Bib., ind.
