"Shackleton's Antarctic Nightmare" launches PST’s 2008 Solo Series

Shackleton's Antarctic Nightmare: The epic, true story of the 1914 British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition.

Ernest Shackleton's dream of being the first man to traverse the Antarctic continent became a nightmare when his valiant ship, Endurance, was crushed by the tremendous pressure of the pack-ice in the Weddell Sea.

The story of how Shackleton and the twenty-eight men of the expedition survived on the ice and eventually came to safety is an epic tale of unbearable hardship, unimaginable suffering, and unfaltering courage, determination, and fortitude.

This is a deeply moving story that will challenge your ideas about what human beings can accomplish and renew your faith in the indomitable strength of the human spirit.
