Antarctic Bookshelf 4: The Endurance by Caroline Alexander
October 30, 2012
My newest Long View blog post for the California Academy of Sciences talks about Caroline Alexander’s 1998 book, The Endurance: Shackleton’s Legendary Antarctic Expedition. Alexander effectively retells the drama of the Endurance voyage through her own words and the gripping photos of Frank Hurley, the expedition’s photographer.
This is the fourth post to my Antarctic Bookshelf series covering notable polar-themed books. The previous three were Antarctica by Emil Schulthess, Imagining Antarctica by Sandy Sorlien. and Endurance by Alfred Lansing.
