In this endearing biographical account, Hugh Robert Mills tells the remarkable life story of one of the best Antarctic explorers of the 19th-century, Sir Ernest Shackleton, as he fearlessly braved uncharted Antarctic waters on multiple expeditions.  As a fellow explorer and close friend, Mills offers a heartfelt and detailed narrative of Shackleton's life and work. He begins with his early childhood and multiple expeditions to the Arctic - including the unsuccessful voyage on Endurance in 1915 - right through to his last voyage on Quest and untimely death whilst onboard.\nA life full of epic adventure and exploration, Ernest Shackleton has become known for his exceptional achievements and courage in the face of adversity. In this biography, his unique personality is brought to life through an in-depth history of his expeditions, aided by personal letters from Shackleton himself and poetry inspired by those Shackleton loved during his lifetime. The book has numerous historic monochrome photos and maps.\nThe cover is a light blue cloth that has been severely sun faded.  The gold lettering is completely worn off. Some off the pages have minor stains on them.  This is a 100 year old book that has been a loan from the New Zealand Antarctic Society.  It has a library style loan card inside the back cover.  All these things add to the charm of this important historical book.
