This is an amazing story of survival. The story itself is incredible, but it is the detail with which it's told--including many excerpts from journals which were kept by several of the survivors--that makes it special. Hats off to Albert Lansing for telling a very balanced, well-paced, consistent tale. Upon reflection, I imagine his task of determining what *not* to include was his greatest challenge. He chose well. I will take away two things from this book: 1.) Disposition is everything. Yes, these men were highly skilled in their various fields, but the trait they shared almost to a person was optimism. Lansing mentions that Shackleton chose these men based mostly on gut instinct. I believe he chose one skilled person over another because he knew on some level that they were the upbeat sort. His ability to choose a great team was key to their survival. 2.) Men are hard core. One could easily argue that the expedition was absolutely foolhardy to begin with and that you would not find a similarly large group of women taking it on for that fact alone. However, I simply couldn't help wondering how the same journey composed of an all-women team would have gone. I can't say that a team of similarly skilled women could not do it. But I am in awe of these men and have to tip my hat to the gender in general for their historic propensity to take on and survive grueling expeditions born of an irrepressible desire for exploration.
