Books by Alfred Lansing

Alfred Lansing was an American journalist and author who spent years interviewing the surviving crew members of the Endurance expedition and working through their diaries and photographs before writing this account, first published in 1959. Lansing had no prior books to his name when Endurance appeared; it remains his most enduring work and is widely considered the definitive account of the voyage. He died in 1975. The book has been continuously in print for over six decades and has influenced nearly every subsequent writer who has covered polar exploration or extreme survival.
