In 1914 Ernest Shackleton, a famous artic explorer, puts together a team of 27 men to become the first to the cross barren wasteland that is Antarctica. Just after they get into the icy waters surrounding Antarctica they find it is to close to proceed and htey are trapped!

Opinion: 

Shipwrecked at the Bottom of the World is an excellent historical fiction which will keep you on the edge of your seat.  Written for young adults, it is easy to read and a great account of the hardships faced by Shakleton and his team.  The story is unforgetable, and I highly recommend this book for people interested in exploration and a remarkable true survival adventure.
