Ice Trap!

Released to mark the 100th anniversary of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s death in 2022, Ice Trap! tells the story of an extraordinary adventure during the heroic age of Antarctic exploration.

Shackleton aimed to walk across Antarctica, but instead this expedition became one of the greatest rescue stories in history, after his ship Endurance became trapped and then crushed by the ice, leaving the men stranded in Antarctica with little hope of discovery or rescue.

With beautiful graphic illustrations from MP Robertson, Meredith Hooper's account brings this amazing tale to life. Meredith is a winner of the prestigious Antarctica Service Medal and former Trustee of UKAHT.
