In his major work, The Heart of The Antarctic, British polar explorer Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton tells the remarkable story of the British Antarctic expedition of 1907 to 1909. During the expedition, Shackleton and his men came within 97 miles of the South Pole, experiencing along the way every hardship possible, then returning to their wooden ship before the ice crushed it. "A more interesting book of polar exploration . . . has yet to be written" (New York Times Book Review).
