Description
Over 1,000 years ago, the islands of Polynesia were explored and settled by navigators who used only the waves, the stars, and the flights of birds for guidance. In hand-built, double-hulled canoes sixty feet long, the ancestors of today's Polynesians sailed across a vast ocean area, larger than Europe and North America combined.

Description
This is the remarkable account of the survival of the men of the ship Endurance, led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, as they abandoned their ship which was trapped in the ice of Antarctica. A smaller portion of the crew then braved the most treacherous seas on the planet to navigate a reinforced life boat to South Georgia Island, to organize a rescue of the remaining crew on Antarctica. One of the greatest survival stories of all time.
