Book Competition – Shackleton's Epic - Recreating the Worlds Greatest Journey of Survival



In 1916, Sir Ernest Shackleton prevailed in what has been called the greatest survival story of all time. His epic journey to rescue his trapped and desperate men through the wild oceans and treacherous glaciers of Antarctica has never been replicated.

Until now…

In 2013, using the same equipment, eating the same unpalatable food, facing the same hostile ocean and desolate conditions, Australian explorer Tim Jarvis and his crew of five set out to replicate Shackleton’s astonishing voyage. Here for the first time is the whole story of that trip, its wretched lows and occasional highs, the gruelling mental and physical toughness it took as a group of men tested themselves against one of the last wildernesses on Earth.

Moving between the past and the present, and combining a thrilling survival story with over 200 beautiful contemporary and historical photographs, this is a must-read book for all Shackleton fans and lovers of epic adventure.

This competition closes 28 April 2014. To enter this competition visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SeniorsCardEpic
