This book is called “Lost In The Antarctic” by Tod Olson, and it’s about a crew of enthusiastic people trying to get back to civilization after their plan to cross Antarctica had failed. In the beginning, Shackleton chooses a group of people who aren’t the most experienced at their job, but would make friends with each other and are willing to work together. The crew leaves civilization in a whaling station in South Georgia on a ship called the “Endurance” which later gets stuck in the pack ice very close to their destination Vahsel Bay (where they would go by dogsled to the other side of Antarctica). The Endurance sunk and the crew decided to go home as they desperately struggle to survive.
