Antarctic book Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage, 1959 by Alfred Lansing (1921-75, an American journalist).
- The 1st woman to Antarctic: Jackie Ronne
Sir Ernest Shackleton (
1874–1922) was one of the main pioneers during Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration – in the race to conquer the most remote land on earth Antarctica. Among his many adventures, the journey in 1914-7 to Antarctic was the most famous. And Lansing made his mark or fame with this book. Before this book, Shackleton felt into obscurity, far lesser known than Captain Robert Scott (1868-1912) – Shackleton’s first polar expedition was on Scott’s Discovery (1901-4), as the 3rd officer.
Shackleton’s Endurance sank in the Weddell Sea off Antarctica on Nov 21 in 1915. He died in 1922 in Grytviken, a hamlet on South Georgia. The ship wreck of Endurance was located by Endurance22 on March 5th, 2022, merely 4 miles from the spot where it sank, 9,869 feet deep. On January 8th, 2024, there are 10 Antarctic cruise ships, including Diana, docked at Ushuaia.
沙克尔顿(1874–1922)是南极探险英雄时代的主要人物之一.
他多次探险征途中以”Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition”, 1914-7“帝国横贯南极探险” 最著名. 他死后大致默默无闻 直到Lansing这本书. The audio form is perhaps done in 2015 (?) 关于沙克尔顿的书有很多本 这本是公认最经典的. 作者以此书著名. (我看过的另外一本Going South 2017 确实没有这本好).
Endurance 坚忍号 在1915年11月21日在南极洲附近的威德尔海沉没. 残骸于2022年3月5日被发现.
今日的上天下海 一切一切 要感恩这些不同领域的先锋们.
