Title:  Escape from Disaster
Series:  Antarctica #2
Author:  Peter Lerangis
Reviewer:   Matt S. '09
Antarctica: Escape from Disaster is a true story about a team of explorers. The leaders are Jack Winslow, Captain Elias Barth, chief navigator Peter Mansfield, and Jack's children, Colin and Andrew.  The story is about a ship, the "Mystery," and its journey to the South Pole in 1910.  The crew encounters many problems, including ice, snowstorms, high winds, and broken masts and booms.  There is even a stowaway on the ship. 

If you're wondering whether they reach the South Pole, you'll have to read the book to find out.  This is a very good book...one that you cannot put down.
