The harrowing story of Shackletons survival and rescue of all 27 men aboard is well known, but the ship has lain unseen for a century, 10,000 feet underwater - until now. The vessel remains incredibly intact, as crystal-clear photography and digital scans from the expedition reveal. A thrilling firsthand account of the expedition coauthored by its leader and deputy leader, this is the first and only book to fully document the discovery, produced in full cooperation with the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust.
