• Great DVD - Awe inspiring historical event
  I first saw this at an IMAX theater at a museum and I immediately wanted my whole family to view this very inspirational saga. I'm excited to own it finally. This is a fast (45 minutes), but well-done view of the incredible ordeal experienced by Shackleton and his crew stranded in the Antarctic. My 17 year old son commented that this would be a good DVD to use in leadership camps and training. It is a true life verifier of the power of loyalty and tenacity. Amazing and empowering!

• Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure
  This is a great video for teachers to use in connection with a unit on Explorers, Teamwork,Sacrifices, or Leadership skills. I used it with 5th graders and they were throughly engaged. There are lesson plans on-line to go with the movie. The photography is fabulous. You will not be disappointed if you are looking for a 45 minute documentary that has the amazing backdrop of the majestic Antarctic.

• Classroom Resource
  This item, along with "The Endurance", are fantastic multi-media resources for a unit on Shackleton's adventure. These DVDs pair wonderfully with the book we cover with our seventh graders: "Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World". Both are highly recommended for teachers as well as lovers of documentaries. The original photographs and film from expedition photographer Frank Hurley are amazing and really neat for the kids.

• Amazing story
  Shackleton was a great leader in impossible circumstances and this story high lights some of those leadership skills. Saw it first on Imax and was very impressed. That is what prompted the purchase.
