Editorial Review:

One of the greatest survival stories of all time comes to life in this extraordinary true story of polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1916 British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, a testament to heroism and human endurance. All 28 men survived nearly two years in the barren, frigid Antarctic when their ship was caught in pack ice and eventually crushed. Featuring stunning Antarctic images and recreations plus original still photography and 35mm motion picture footage by Rank Hurley, the official photographer for the expedition, this is a voyage you'll want to relive again and again.

Classroom Resource

This item, along with "The Endurance", are fantastic multi-media resources for a unit on Shackleton's adventure. These DVDs pair wonderfully with the book we cover with our seventh graders: "Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World". Both are highly recommended for teachers as well as lovers of documentaries. The original photographs and film from expedition photographer Frank Hurley are amazing and really neat for the kids.

Amazing story

Shackleton was a great leader in impossible circumstances and this story high lights some of those leadership skills. Saw it first on Imax and was very impressed. That is what prompted the purchase.

Informational and Inspirational

This film is one for the ages. A good synopsis of the Shackleton story that focuses on the leadership and togetherness that took place on this adventure. I am a corporate leadership trainer who has used this film to teach hundreds of people about true leadership and teamwork. This film is a must see for anyone in a leadership role or hoping to one day attain one. It is also a very good story for families, adventurists, historians, and more. Definitely worth the time and money.

Shackleton's Anarctic Adventure

An inspirational story of endurance and true leadership. After watching it, I used it as a team building seminar for my staff. Kevin Spacey's narration was excellent.
