St. Johnsbury Athenaeum
presents a lecture on
The Endurance:Shackleton’s Legendary Antarctic Expedition
by author Caroline Alexander
Wednesday, March 9th at 7:00 pm

In 1914, polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton left England for the Antarctic with a crew of 27 on his ship Endurance. When it was crushed by sea ice, they became castaways in the harshest environment on Earth. A century later, author Caroline Alexander shares a thrilling saga of stoic courage that also serves as a master class in leadership.
