false 144123 6 <B>The excruciating tale of the Ross Sea party, the other side of Shackleton's <I>Endurance</I> expedition</B> <BR><BR> In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton sailed south aboard the <I>Endurance</I> to make history by crossing the Antarctic continent. Shackleton's story is legend, but few know the harrowing story of the Ross Sea party, Shackleton's support group dispatched to the other side of the continent to build a lifeline of food and fuel depots to bear his crossing. <P> &#147;I had not anticipated that the work would present any great difficulties,&#148; Shackleton wrote. Yet everything went tragically wrong when the Ross Sea ship, the <I>Aurora</I>, tore free of her moorings and disappeared in a gale, leaving ten men marooned with only the clothes on their backs and few provisions. With little hope of rescue from a world embroiled in World War I, the men decided to accomplish their mission against all odds. <P> Long overshadowed by the mission these men bargained their lives to sustain, this heartrending story of survival against all odds now gets its due in this definitive, surprising account of the final journey of the heroic age of polar expedition. 139045 20 4 2006 The Lost Men: The Harrowing Saga of Shackleton's Ross Sea Party total:68|5:16|4:37|3:15|2:0|1:0| 68 273 100 24 5 0 false false Fri Jul 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 14:13:03 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 14:17:54 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Apr 28 23:18:32 -0700 2007 Sat Apr 28 23:48:43 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Mar 07 12:06:35 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 12:07:24 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Aug 04 23:18:28 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 04 23:28:55 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed May 28 10:01:21 -0700 2008 Wed May 28 10:22:21 -0700 2008
