- Commemorating the centenary of Ernest Shackleton’s death, The Folio Society brings together 'The Heart of the Antarctic' and 'South' - thrilling accounts of his greatest polar expeditions in his own words.
Published together for the first time, Ernest Shackleton’s two polar memoirs are gripping eyewitness accounts of adventure at the very limit of human endurance. 'The Heart of the Antarctic' (1909) and 'South' (1919) tell the story of the Nimrod and Endurance expeditions - both of which fell short of their goal, but saw Shackleton defy overwhelming odds to save his men from catastrophe and bring them home.
This commemorative three-volume set includes the complete texts from the first editions, alongside razor-sharp reproductions of the original photographs, drawings, panoramas and a large fold-out map. The explorer’s granddaughter, Alexandra Shackleton, has contributed a new introduction exclusively for this set.
Each volume is beautifully bound in dark blue cloth, blocked in silver with a screen-printed image from the original cover. Housed in an elegant cloth-covered slipcase, Shackleton’s Antarctica is the perfect tribute to the greatest British leader from the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.
The Folio Society produces beautifully crafted collector’s editions of the world’s greatest books, each with unique illustrations or specially researched photographs throughout. Find books you love at foliosociety.com

This is stunning, I purchased it and can't wait for my copy. We need more adventure/exploration books!
I would also really love to see a special version similar to this for, "Seven Pillars of Wisdom", by T. E. Lawrence. That would be grand.
Just ordered the gorgeous books. Can’t wait to read them. 👍👌
My wife and kid went to Antarctica early last year. I didnt go because of seasick issues. I will definitely get this set of book to make up what I have missed!
Definitely going to get this. You're on a roll Folio Society !

Will you ever make a limited edition Lord of the Rings books?
They already did - three volumes in 2008.
Let me guess: it's over 215 U.S dollars.
