Bir B1: Endurance (With Literary Analysis)

The Endurance is the incredible true story of Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition, as seen through the eyes of a stowaway, 18-year-old Perce Blackborow. Trapped by ice, facing starvation and freezing temperatures, Shackleton’s leadership, courage and humour guide his men through two years of extreme conditions. From the sinking of the Endurance to the dangerous sea voyage and trek across South Georgia, we discover adventure, historical facts and human endurance, showing students how determination, teamwork and hope can overcome even the hardest challenges.
