Jenny Crwys-Williams in conversation with Darrel Bristow-Bovey

When Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance was discovered below the Antarctic ice in March 2022, 106 years after it sank, the world thrilled to one of the greatest survival stories ever. 

Acclaimed South African writer Darrel Bristow-Bovey has a deeply personal relationship with the story of Endurance. 

In his lyrical journey into past and present, into humanity and the natural world, he draws on literature, natural history and the thrilling epics of polar adventure. This book is a celebration of the human spirit. 

So join Darrel and Jenny for pizzas, Durbanville Hills wine and tiramisu as they delve below the blue ice, the passions and the heartbreak - and Darrel’s father who swore he was on the Endeavour before she sank from sight.

Miracles, Darrel writes, can still sometimes happen.
