The other half of the Shackleton story! What would have happened if Shackleton had successfully reached the Antarctic coast during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-17)? His goal was to meet up with the Ross Sea Party from the ‘Aurora’. This group reached shore on the other side of the continent only to have their ship blown out to sea and disappear. Following a fierce winter they still succeeding in moving thousands of pounds of supplies to provide support depots for Shackleton’s use; all without knowledge of what happened to the ‘Endurance’. Bickel has drawn upon interviews with surviving expedition member Dick Richards to tell the amazing story of this forgotten team.
