Críticas:

"Mr. Jarvis's tribute to Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic expedition has had a danger and heroism that are worthy of the original."--The Guardian

"This is a story of triumph! Tim Jarvis and his companions have successfully recreated my grandfather's 1916 voyage over the stormiest seas in the world. I feel it was a thoroughly Shackletonian expedition."--ALEXANDRA SHACKLETON, Granddaughter of Ernest Shackleton

"An extraordinary expedition"--The Daily Mirror

"A daring re-enactment. ... All the plaudits to him and his team are thoroughly deserved."--Telegraph

"Thrilling. ... A treasure-trove of minutiae and derring-do for both explorers and those who will simply gaze in wonderment."--Booklist

"A chilling account of an epic struggle to survive."--Traveler

"Polar explorer Jarvis takes on the re-creation of one of the most difficult treks imaginable. ... The story of their journey is bone-chilling and breathtakingly frightening. ... a most remarkable feat. A well-written, compelling read."--Kirkus Reviews
