In Shackleton's Footsteps
Autor Henry Worsleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2026
'Courage and spirit oozes from these pages' Bear Grylls
On the 29th of October 1908, a party of four men, led by Ernest Shackleton, set out to be the first to reach the South Pole. Three months later, their mission was in ruins and they faced certain death if they carried on. Just 97 miles from the South Pole, Shackleton turned back.
One hundred years on, a team that included descendants of that original party, led by Henry Worsley, set out from Shackleton's hut to celebrate the centenary of his expedition by retracing the exact 870 mile route and going on to finish the last 97 miles. This captivating book tells the story of the original expedition and its failure, while also capturing the meticulous planning, fundraising and training for the new expedition.
An unforgettable and unique story of adventure, pioneering spirit and man's triumph over nature, In Shackleton's Footsteps is a modern classic of adventure writing.

Notă biografică
Lieutenant Colonel Henry Worsley, MBE (4 October 1960 - 24 January 2016) was an explorer and British Army officer. A distant relative of Ernest Shackleton, in 2008 he led an expedition through the Transantarctic Mountains to the South Pole to commemorate the centenary of Shackleton's Nimrod Expedition. He returned to the Antarctic in 2011, leading a team of six in retracing Roald Amundsen's successful 870-mile journey in 1912 to the South Pole, marking its centenary. Worsley died in 2016 while attempting to complete the first solo and unaided crossing of the Antarctic.
