In Surviving Antarctica, readers join Ernest Shackleton and his team in their ill-fated attempt to circumnavigate Antarctica, resulting in a dangerous trek across the frozen water. Told in a fast-paced, exciting tone and filled with well-chosen photographs, these titles afford readers a realistic glimpse into the lives of incredible individuals and will inspire them to face their own hardships with resilience and hope. Titles include pages detailing survival gear used, such as a sextant when navigating (Surviving Antarctica) and a hydration pack (Surviving a Canyon), as well as recommendations for surviving deadly situations.
