Mitzz··on The White Darkness: A Journey Across Antarctica
From the article: "Worsley read everything he could about Shackleton and other polar explorers. He was delighted to discover that Frank Worsley, a trusted member of one of Shackleton’s expeditions, was a distant relative of his, and had written his own thrilling memoir..."
