Lost men

Here is the other book on the Aurora's team
The lost men : the harrowing story of Shackleton’s Ross Sea party by Kelly Tyler-Lewis

While the story of Shackleton's crew of the “Endurance” is well known, the fate of his Ross Sea support party has been largely forgotten. Charged with laying supply depots every 60 miles for Shackleton's 1914–1916 Trans-Antarctic trek, the Ross Sea party became stranded with most of their clothing, food, and equipment gone, when its ship “Aurora” tore free of her moorings and disappeared in a gale.
This account of the 10-man party's plight relies on the men's journals, which are amazingly detailed, considering the physical (snow blindness, scurvy, frostbite) and mental (depression, paranoia) problems they faced. The men's decision to lay depots despite the obstacles demonstrates their courage.
The heart of the book lies in the dissection of the men's relationships with one another. As friends are made, alliances formed and resentment festers, humanity is never lost, even amid inhumane conditions. Given the collection of military, civilian, scientific and blue-collar personnel, it's compelling to see how each man deals with his fate. Add in the party sledding 1,300 miles in subzero temperatures with the sociological aspects of being stranded for nearly two years.
Tyler-Lewis, a historian, located the diaries of 16 survivors, found public records and private papers and interviewed the families of the Ross Sea party to build her story.
“The lost men” differs from the other Ross Sea party book – “Shackleton’s forgotten Argonauts”, this is a researched story while “Argonauts was story telling. Both are great reads.
And with these books which include the locations of the supply dumps as recorded by the team in 1915 & 1916, all we need to do is calculate the drift of the Ross Ice Shelf in the intervening years and find them!
