{"product_id":"shackletons-boat-journey","title":"Shackletons Boat Journey","description":"Frank A. Worsley was the Captain of the H. M. S.\u003ci\u003e Endurance\u003c\/i\u003e, the ship used by the legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton in his 1914-16 expedition to the Antarctic. On its way to the Antarctic continent the \u003ci\u003eEndurance\u003c\/i\u003e became trapped and then crushed by ice, and the ship''s party of twenty-eight drifted in an ice floe for five months. Finally reaching an uninhabited island, Shackleton, Worsley and four others sailed eight hundred miles in a small boat to the island of South Georgia, an astounding feat of navigation and courage. All hands survived this ill-fated expedition; as Worsley writes, ''By self-sacrifice and throwing his own life into the balance, (Shackleton) saved every one of his men...although at times it looked unlikely that one could be saved.''","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57494642426238,"sku":"NW9780712665742","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780712665742.jpg?v=1780308720","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/shackletons-boat-journey","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
