Ernest Shackleton used to be probably the most last great Antarctic explorers, and he led one of the crucial ambitious Antarctic expeditions ever undertaken. This is his story, and the story of the dozens of men who threw in their lot with him – many of whom nearly died in the unimaginably harsh conditions of the journey. It is an astonishing feat – and used to be unprecedented at the time – that the entire men in the expedition survived.

Shackleton’s expedition marked the end of a period of romantic exploration of the Arctic and the Antarctic, and this is as much a book about the encroaching brand new world as it’s about go back and forth. But Nick Bertozzi has documented this remarkable journey with such wit and fiendish attention to detail that It is unimaginable to not get caught up in the drama of the voyage. Shackleton is an outstanding accompaniment to Bertozzi’s earlier graphic novel about great explorers, Lewis & Clark.
