I know when I first started reading about Antarctica before we went there in 1999/2000, I started with South, but had to drop it and read Lansing's book first, then go back to South. The language and tone of Shackleton's book is not nearly as approachable.

Wow, look at the star ratings of that book! I don't think I've seen such a strong skew towards 5-star.
