Sumario:"The story that unfolds between these covers is I my i story" (p. 1).[1] Opening I The Ship Beneath the Ice i with this line, maritime archaeologist Mensun Bound reminds readers about the intimate relationship that historians maintain with our sources. Likewise, three appendices follow Bound's narrative with crew listings for the 1914-1917 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (Shackleton's expedition), the Weddell Sea Expedition, and the Endurance22 Expedition. Throughout this period, the author subtly compares Shackleton's experiences, even asking what Shackleton might have thought of the enterprise.
