Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World by Jennifer Armstrong

Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World: The Extraordinary True Story of Shackleton and the Endurance by Jennifer Armstrong is a nonfiction account of what actually happened on Sir Ernest Shackleton's failed attempt at reading the south pole in 1914. Jennifer Armstrong used many resources as she compiled all of the information, including the personal diaries of the shipmates!

I read this book after reading the fiction story Shackleton's Stowaway by Victoria McKernan. I was so intrigued by the story that I wanted to find out more! Victoria McKernan's fictional novel closely follows the actual events on the Endurance, Shackleton's ship. It was really interesting learning more about this expedition and the men that survived. There are many pictures of the crew and the ship.
