In 1914 Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 stalwart individuals attempted to undertake what Shackleton described as "the one remaining great object of Antarctic journeying" -- crossing the continent on foot from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea via the South Pole. While disaster famously beset the Endurance expedition, Shackleton, through extraordinary leadership and dogged, relentless effort, lost none of his men; all were saved in 1916. The legendary tale of how he accomplished this is still taught in the best military and business schools on the planet. "South!" is the story of the doomed expedition, straight from the man who led it -- Sir Ernest Shackleton.
