Polar Exploration Books: Ernest Shackleton and Valerian Albanov

Taking a look at my small collection of polar exploration classics, mostly focused on Shackleton’s expeditions. Filming this, I realized I really need to read Amundsen and Nansen and then do a sequel.

i did a post on the Albanov not too long ago and really liked it… and i went through an exploration phase at an early age and read a lot of Shackleton material; he really was a man in full control of himself and all situations…

  Yes, after reading both books, I’m convinced his personality and self-discipline really helped them stay together (and sane). 🙂
