When Your Life Depends on It Publisher's Summary

Antarctica - life-and-death decisions - the early 1900's. The only communication is as far as you can shout.

How Scott, Shackleton, Amundsen, and Mawson risked it all in their quest for the South Pole and beyond, and what we can learn from their situations to improve our modern-day decision making.

Grab a warm blanket. This audiobook puts you right into the action of the life-and-death decisions made by early Antarctic explorers. It is filled with unforgettable stories about the challenges and decisions they faced on the ice.
