I. Book introduction
The White Darkness is the fourth non-fiction book by American journalist David Grann. The book was released on October 30, 2018 by Doubleday. This is a short opus dedicated to the adventures of British explorer Henry Worsley.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon, a powerful true story of adventure and obsession in the Antarctic, lavishly illustrated with color photographs.
Henry Worsley was a devoted husband and father and a decorated British special forces officer who believed in honor and sacrifice. He was also a man obsessed. He spent his life idolizing Ernest Shackleton, the nineteenth-century polar explorer, who tried to become the first person to reach the South Pole, and later sought to cross Antarctica on foot. Shackleton never completed his journeys, but he repeatedly rescued his men from certain death, and emerged as one of the greatest leaders in history.
Worsley felt an overpowering connection to those expeditions. He was related to one of Shackleton’s men, Frank Worsley, and spent a fortune collecting artifacts from their epic treks across the continent. He modeled his military command on Shackleton’s legendary skills and was determined to measure his own powers of endurance against them. He would succeed where Shackleton had failed, in the most brutal landscape in the world.
In 2008, Worsley set out across Antarctica with two other descendants of Shackleton’s crew, battling the freezing, desolate landscape, life-threatening physical exhaustion, and hidden crevasses. Yet when he returned home he felt compelled to go back. On November 13, 2015, at age 55, Worsley bid farewell to his family and embarked on his most perilous quest: to walk across Antarctica alone. David Grann tells Worsley’s remarkable story with the intensity and power that have led him to be called “simply the best narrative nonfiction writer working today.” Illustrated with more than fifty stunning photographs from Worsley’s and Shackleton’s journeys, The White Darkness is both a gorgeous keepsake volume and a spellbinding story of courage, love, and a man pushing himself to the extremes of human capacity.
Theme
The book centers on the expeditions and adventures by British explorer and British Army officer Henry Worsley who traveled to the gravesite of Ernest Shackleton, a polar explorer himself. To reach the grave, Worsley traveled to the far shores of South Georgia Island in the southern Atlantic Ocean. In the following years, he traveled even farther.
In 2008, he started his first journey across Antarctica, leading an expedition to pioneer a route through the Transantarctic Mountains, reaching a point 98 miles (157 km) from the South Pole. The expedition commemorated the centenary of Shackleton’s Nimrod Expedition. Worsley returned to the Antarctic in 2011, leading a team of six in retracing Roald Amundsen’s successful 870-mile (1,400 km) journey in 1912 to the South Pole, marking its centenary. In completing the route, he became the first person to have successfully undertaken the routes taken by Shackleton, Robert Falcon Scott and Amundsen.
In 2015, Worsley decided to start a new expedition. Worsley arrived at the starting point, Berkner Island, on 13 November 2015 with the aim of completing his journey in 80 days. He covered 913 miles (1,469 km) in 69 days, and had only 30 miles (48 km) to go. However, he had to spend days 70 and 71 in his tent, suffering from exhaustion and severe dehydration. Eventually, he radioed for help and was airlifted to Punta Arenas, Chile. He was diagnosed with bacterial peritonitis. On 24 January 2016, he died of organ failure following surgery at the Clinica Magallanes in Punta Arenas. He was 55 years old. Worsley was posthumously awarded the Polar Medal for his exploration of the Antarctic.
Editorial Reviews
- “Grann’s prose moves at a brisk pace … with a style that conveys the immensity of Antarctica and the difficulty of Worsley’s journeys.”
—Los Angeles Times - “A handsome volume … Mr. Grann ably conjures the rasp of sled runner on ice and the skin burn of minus-40.”
—Wall Street Journal - “Grann weaves tales of historic expeditions into his dimensional portrait of the driven Worsley…. [He] works his narrative magic on Worsley’s adventures, their dizzying dangers, and the ‘majestic deathscape’ of the Antarctic.”
—Booklist, starred review - “In straightforward but evocative prose, Grann captures the drama and sheer audacity of his subject’s forays into forbidding places—where one of the many ways to die is simply to get wet.”
—Christian Science Monitor - “What makes The White Darkness so compelling is Grann’s gift for memorable detail…. Grann is expert at making readers feel as if they are on the journey with the team.”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune - “[A] rich, tight narrative.”
—San Francisco Chronicle

1. PRECISE DISARRAY reviews for The White Darkness
immersive experience, I found it worthwhile read
I love reading this in printed form. For this piece of non fiction, I prefer to have the hard copy in hand, with pictures to look at. I don’t recall what I spent on the book (@$10), but I already know how many pages I was buying (160 pages from description, though 146 in book in hand).
Sometimes price is a deciding factor, sometimes not. when I really want to read something, I’ll pay whatever. I really wanted to read this, so I bought it. I see a lot of negative reviews stating that readers should save their money and just read it out of the magazine (k, where am I going to get this copy?, also if it is just a reprinted mag piece, I am glad it is offered in a format I can enjoy), or figure out a way to get around buying it and read it electronically (hmm, really?). Positive reviews are looked at as though they are part of something scandalous, which undermines an authentic read with genuine enjoyment of this book. Although I initially considered backing away, I actually ultimately decided to -take a chance- purchase my book based on these negative reviews, so thank you!
One person’s 1 star, is another person’s 5 star 🙂
I am already familiar with Grann’s writing, so I knew to expect some solid writing. I was not disappointed (phew!). I did not gobble it up in a short sitting (savored it), I don’t feel like I am being taken for my money with having spent $10 to read someones work. I’ve spent more money on less worthwhile reads. And I do understand that value is based on ones perspective. So *I* find value in this read, and because I do so, it does not mean that my review is not genuine.
Also, now there are used copies available. That being said, and price aside..
The information shared in this book is clear, concise, well described, and gives me a sense of being there in Antarctica. I was initially drawn to this book, well first because I wanted to see what else Grann has written (KIllers of the Flower Moon is amazing in particular) that I may not have read yet. Secondly, the premise of adventurers in Antarctica- something about long arduous treks really appeal to me, even if only from the comfort of my lazy girl recliner. I knew Grann would lead me as close as I could ever get to being there, with these brave, courageous, risk takers- without my having to leave the house. Not only that, but it spurred an interest in me to seek out even more information about the area and other explorers, their stories, and so on. They may be a bit crazy and selfish, but I can still be a voyeur into that world. Grann helps with that. And THAT absolutely makes this a worthwhile experience, to me. I think it is a gem of a book, and I appreciate this non fiction story. Looking forward to more of his work.
2. CANDI reviews for The White Darkness
“The man felt like a speck in the frozen nothingness. Every direction he turned, he could see ice stretching to the edge of the Earth: white ice and blue ice, glacial-ice tongues and ice wedges. There were no living creatures in sight. Not a bear or even a bird. Nothing but him.”
The last book I reviewed was set in the lush and exotic landscape of Corfu. Corfu and all of Greece are on my bucket list of places to visit once I have time I can call my own. What is not on my bucket list: Antarctica! I hate being cold. I truly despise frigid temperatures, wearing boots and parkas, and having my skin exposed to subzero temperatures. However, I was able to get a little taste of this stunning continent through the exploits of Henry Worsley and the excellent writing of David Grann. This was accomplished either from the relative warmth of a nice spring walk or a ride in the car, as I listened to this one on audio.
The taste for adventure must have been in Henry Worsley’s blood. A distant relative of Frank Worsley, one of Ernest Shackleton’s crew from the Endurance, Henry had the craving to push himself to the limits and was determined to conquer what Shackleton and his men had failed to do – to cross Antarctica via the South Pole on foot. Henry Worsley undertook not one but three expeditions to one of the most brutal environments in the world. His last trek in 2015-2016 was entirely solo. His wife and children stood by praying for his safe return.
“Passion for something can easily tip into obsession, which is a dangerous thing, especially when those affected are the very people who so loyally stand and wait.”
The drama and danger of this venture was riveting, to say the least. David Grann provides a lot of background on the original expeditions, highlighting much of Shackleton’s journey as well as his exemplary leadership skills. He shares snippets of dispatches and journal entries from Henry Worsley’s accounts, which gave this nonfiction piece a feeling of immediacy. My mind never once strayed from the narrative, despite the fact I am often prone to doing so while listening to a book rather than reading it myself. It’s actually a fairly short work, and I was rather surprised when it came to an end – a good sign of a successful audio experience, I guess!
Now an instant fan of David Grann, I will gladly seek out more of his writing in the future. His prose is clear and concise and never once felt dry. He’s also given me a big push to read those Shackleton books that have been languishing on my to-read list for far too long. I highly recommend this one to anyone that loves a great adventure tale as well as those that enjoy stimulating true stories. My only regret with this was that I know I missed out on some remarkable photographs which I understand are included in the paper version. I may seek this out in that format just to catch a glimpse of those pictures.
3. JENNA reviews for The White Darkness
For the life of me, I will never understand those people who are inclined to attempt what’s never been done before, even if it means putting their lives in danger. Well, I could understand if it was something fun. But something like trekking 1,000+ miles across the brutal continent of Antarctica alone?? Hell, no! I’ll stay home, indoors, sipping my tea or coffee and reading a good book, thank you very much.
Not everyone is like me though, and there are those intrepid explorers who are compelled to venture to places unknown, putting themselves at great risk of injury or death in the process. Henry Worsley was one of those people and The White Darkness is his story. After a successful trek to the South Pole with others, Henry decided to do what had never been done: cross the vast and frigid expanse of Antarctica alone and without any assistance. No one to talk to, no food supplies dropped along the way, no dogs to assist in pulling his sled. No one to pull him out if he fell into a crevasse. No one to share his experiences and offer mutual support.
The book details both of Worsley’s trips to Antarctica and I was amazed, especially by the solo trip. The hardships Worsley endured, the inner strength that propelled him on…. The book has breathtaking photographs interspersed throughout and these were jaw-dropping and mesmerizing to see, photographs of views most of us will never behold in person.
Did reading this inspire me to take on some hazardous goal? Nope, unh-unh, no way! But I do have a better understanding of those who are willing to put themselves at great risk in order to do something none has done before. I am left in awe at what Worsley and those before him have done, their remarkable feats of strength, and their drive to do what most of us would never even dream about. And now… back to my coffee and a new book, curled up on the couch in my nice, warm, cosy apartment….
4. D LYON reviews for The White Darkness
The story of the ultimate Antarctic challenge
The White Darkness is a well-illustrated book version of Gann’s articles published in the New Yorker earlier this year.
In 140 pages Gann succinctly covers Henry’s early life and his growing fascination with Sir Ernest Shackleton and then describes Henry’s three major expeditions to the Antarctic. The first, ‘to complete family business’ was the successful attempt, with a team of Shackleton expedition descendants, to arrive precisely 100 years to the day at the exact spot at which Shackleton turned back in 1908, and then proceed to the South Pole. The second, with Lou Rudd as his team- mate, was a competition between two teams to mark the centennial of the Scott and Amundsen race to the Pole. The third was Henry’s, ultimately fatal attempt, at the age of 55, to cross the Antarctic alone and unsupported. It was a challenge of such huge physical, logistical and psychological intensity that attempting it required a most unusually powerful strength of mind.
Henry had that strength of mind and a fascination with extreme endurance, which was masked much of the time by his unassuming manner and an artistic gentleness touched with a lack of reverence for staid convention.
Gadd’s short book, written with much input from family and friends, neatly captures the breadth and depth of Henry’s character and serves well as a memorial to his truly heroic achievements.
5. LIBBY reviews for The White Darkness
4.5 stars rounded up. This would have been an excellent book to read on January 1, reminding myself to pull up my bootstraps, bombard the castle, jump into oblivion, and just generally get on with something that requires intense focus and dedication. David Grann brings the reader a modern-day hero, Henry Worsley, a man who has just that kind of focus. Indeed, he carries his focus on an expedition to Antarctica to the point of obsession, as many great people do.
This is a short book at 160 pages, and much of that is superb photography of the alien-like landscape of Antarctica. Men as stick-like figures are subsumed by Antarctica’s vast glaciers, ice mountains, and ice waves known as sastrugi, formations sculpted by the wind. The glimmering whites and blues in this formidable wind blustering climate, where the lowest temperatures on earth have been recorded, are startling, even in the photographs. Worsley’s goal, along with team members Will Gow and Henry Adams, is to exceed Ernest Shackleton’s 1907-1909 Nimrod expedition’s Farthest South point. The South Pole was 97 nautical miles away when Shackleton made the decision to turn back. Two years later in 1911, Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian, became the first man to reach the South Pole. Worsley, Gow, and Adams begin their trek in October 2008. The skis Worsley used were painted with messages from his wife, Joanna, and their children, Alicia and Max. Joanna wrote, “Come back to me safely, my darling.”
Despite all the stunning landscape and historical photography of both Shackleton’s expedition and Worsley’s exploits, my favorite photograph is one of a face, the face of Henry Worsley. He has on goggles that reflect the Antarctic landscape and his face is grizzled. He’s missing a tooth. His knitted headgear covers his scalp and drapes his neck, leaving the circle of the polar explorer’s face with its almost grin exposed, a cigar jutting from the right side of his mouth. He looks jaunty and ready to take on anything; he is a man with the discipline and mental acuity to survive in one of Earth’s harshest environments.
Some of my favorite quotes from the book, ones that I hope to take to heart for the New Year of 2020:
- “Always a little further . . . a little further.” James Elroy Flecker
- “I hold that a man should strive to the uttermost for his life’s set prize.” Robert Browning
- “A man must shape himself to a new mark directly the old one goes to ground.” Ernest Shackleton
- “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Alfred, Lord Tennyson
6. DIANE reviews for The White Darkness
“What is Antarctica other than a blank canvas on which you can seek to impose yourself?”
This is another incredible nonfiction work by David Grann. I loved his previous book “Killers of the Flower Moon” so much that I will read anything by him. So far, every Grann book I’ve read has been well worth my time.
“The White Darkness” is the true story of Henry Worlsey, a British officer who became obsessed with Antarctica. This book covers two of Worsleys treks to the South Pole, one in 2008 and another in 2015. Both times he was attempting to follow in the path of the legendary Ernest Shackleton, the 19th-century explorer who tried to be the first person to reach the South Pole.
Besides being an amazing adventure story, “The White Darkness” is also gorgeous to read, filled with photographs showing the desolate beauty of the Antarctic. Highly recommended to anyone who loves true adventure stories.
Opening Passage
“The man felt like a speck in the frozen nothingness. Every direction he turned, he could see ice stretching to the edge of the Earth: white ice and blue ice, glacial-ice tongues and ice wedges. There were no living creatures in sight. Not a seal or even a bird. Nothing but him.”
7. DAWN M.FARNHAM reviews for The White Darkness
A beautiful “coffee table book” in miniature.
This is the shortest book I have read as an adult, but I found it “weighty” even though it took little time to read. It is filled with pictures of Antarctica and its explorers and printed on heavy, glossy paper, so that it is a pleasure to turn the pages. The story is compelling, and I am now inspired to read the other non-fiction books by David Grann.
Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” begins on a private cruising yawl where five men wait for the turn of the tide to allow them to sail out into the English Channel. The first narrator speaks to the reader with romantic nostalgia of England’s great captains, explorers, and their ships. He mentions Drake, Franklin and his lost ships the Erebus and Terror, and the long line of men “knights all, titled and untitled” who had sailed down the Thames for greatness or glory. When the seaman, Marlow, picks up the narration to tell his own story (based strongly on Conrad’s experiences in the Belgian Congo), he says that this (meaning Britain, the Thames) has also been “one of the dark places of the earth,” and speaks sympathetically of the Romans sent North to colonize Britain when it was a wilderness, how they might have felt, and what forces or ideas drove them.
Perhaps continual references to “the white darkness” in David Grann’s book, as well as my memory of Conrad’s meditative discussion of heroism, bring “Heart of Darkness” so much to my mind. I personally have never felt the inclination to test my strength against the extreme forces of nature, and if such a spirit were ever to move me, I would certainly choose tropics over the ice of the South Pole. I have never wanted to go to war, nor have I wanted to prove my worth by conquest.
Henry Worsley, the central figure in “The White Darkness,” whose father was heroic but largely absent from his life, made of Ernest Shackleton, hero of the past age of Antarctic exploration, a father figure and role model. We learn that Worsley emulated Shackleton to the extent that throughout his life in difficult situations he would ask himself the question, “What would Shacks do?” (It seems to me that Worsley’s wife Joanna, at least in photographs, even bears some resemblance to Shackleton’s wife Emily!) I have long felt both incomprehension and awe when reading of the extreme physical and mental trials men such as Henry Worsley, Ernest Shackleton, and other heroes set for themselves. They are a genuine mystery to me.
Worsley lived and died a hero, yet he was always a driven man, seemingly compelled to follow in Shackleton’s footsteps. Because his life comes to an early end, should we see hIs story ultimately as tragic? I don’t know. Would Worsley have been able to relax and enjoy an active retirement of teaching, traveling, and family time? Maybe.
8. NANCY reviews for The White Darkness
My obsession with Antarctic explorers began when I was eleven and read The Great White South by Herbert Ponting, the photographer on the 1911 Scott expedition. As a girl, I held a heroic idealization of Scott and his men freezing in their hut. It seemed all so heroic, then. Later readings lowered Scott in my estimation.
Henry Worsley idolized Ernest Shackleton for his courage and leadership. Although Shackleton was never able to complete his expeditions, he did save his men’s lives. And Worsley’s own grandfather had been with Shackleton on his failed expedition to the reach the South Pole.
Henry made a career in the army, completing Special Forces training while pursuing his obsession by collecting Shackleton artifacts.
The White Darkness by David Grann tells the story of how Henry Worsley, after retirement from the army, participated in a centennial expedition retracing Shackleton’s trek, along with two other descendants of the original team. The goal was to reach the South Pole, which Shackleton failed to do. They made it. Not content with this achievement, Henry afterward endeavored to complete the other journey that Shackleton had to abandon: crossing the Antarctic. Henry, though, would do it solo.
Once again, I am amazed how men can be driven to endure the unimaginable physical stress of the Antarctic, not just once, but returning again to the dangerous beauty of ice. A hundred years ago men wanted to bring honor to their country and the Antarctic and Arctic were the last unexplored places on earth. But there has always been something more, a need for men to test themselves to the ultimate, to conquer the most extreme conditions imaginable
In this short book about Henry Worsley, Grann covers the history of Antarctic exploration and conveys a chilling exposure to the ‘white darkness’ of the freezing desert landscape that has lured so many men to their deaths.
I received a free ebook from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
9. PAUL reviews for The White Darkness
The line between focus and obsession is very thin. Henry Worsley was one of those who crossed backwards and forwards over the line. He was a devoted husband and father and when serving in the special forces, was decorated for bravery. One Worsley‘sobsessions though was Ernest Shackleton. This explorer tried to become the first person to reach the South Pole and even attempted to cross the frozen continent on foot. Sadly he never succeeded in these adventures, but his leadership skills meant that he kept his men from dying.
It was those leadership skills that Worsley used when commanding his own men. There was another link too, Frank Worsley, one of Shackleton’s men, was a relation. He began to collect some of the items from the expeditions across the ice. He began to feel the call of the ice and started to plan his own expedition there. In 2008 he arrived there with two other descendants from Shackleton’s team. Nothing is easy in Antarctica and they fought against the landscape and the place to reach their goal. However, it did not get it out of his system. Antarctica became a place that he felt at home and seven years later, he was back there; this time to walk alone on a 1000 mile journey across the whole continent. He was going to have to pull all his supplies on a sled as he was not dependent on supply drops. It was a high-risk journey that was fraught with danger.
This is a short and intense book that is very moving. I had never read any of Grann’s books before but I thought that his writing is excellent. The descriptions of Worsley’s trips to Antarctica are sparse and yet full of presence. Not only is the story in this book quite something, but the photos taken from Worsley’s and the Shackleton collection are stunning. Can highly recommend this for anyone who has a fascination with the southern ice and about an amazing guy who was so driven to the ultimate limit.
10. CHERYL reviews for The White Darkness
Henry Worsley was a British special forces officer who was obsessed with the Antarctic expeditions of Ernest Shackleton. From childhood, Henry had read everything he could find about Shackleton and his expeditions. And then he learned that he was a descendant of one of Shackleton’s crew.
As an adult, Henry Worsley’s interest in Shackleton grew stronger and he began to collect artifacts from Shackleton and his expeditions. His wife and children encouraged his interest. In 2008, Henry Worsley, along with two other descendants of Shackleton’s crew, began an expedition to reach the South Pole. They braved extremely perilous conditions to reach their goal.
In 2012 Worsley again travelled to the Antarctic with a partner to commemorate the centennial of the race between Amundsen and Scott to the South Pole. At the age of 55, Henry Worsley retired from the British special services and found that his urge to return to the South Pole had not diminished. So in 2015 he decided to try to become the first man to complete an expedition across the continent of Antartica alone.
David Grann’s account of Henry Worsley’s life and expeditions is hard to put down. Photographs taken during the various expeditions greatly enhance the account. Grann’s meticulous research vividly brings to life Henry Worsley’s story.
III. The White Darkness Quotes
The best book quotes from The White Darkness by David Grann
“Every time Worsley made an offer, a person bidding anonymously over the telephone countered him and finally made off with the prize, at a price of seven thousand dollars. Weeks later, on his tenth wedding anniversary, Joanna gave him a present: the inscribed book. Each had been unaware that the other was the rival bidder.”
“An entire subgenre of self-help literature devoted to analyzing his methods emerged, books with titles like Leading at the Edge: Leadership Lessons from the Extraordinary Saga of Shackleton’s Antarctic Expedition. Another example, Shackleton: Leadership Lessons from Antarctica, included such chapters as “Be My Tent Mate: Keep Dissidents Close,” “Camaraderie at 20 Below Zero: Creating an Optimal Work Environment,” and “Sailing Uncharted Waters: Adapt and Innovate.”
“The man felt like a speck in the frozen nothingness. Every direction he turned, he could see ice stretching to the edge of the Earth: white ice and blue ice, glacial-ice tongues and ice wedges. There were no living creatures in sight. Not a bear or even a bird. Nothing but him.”
“Passion for something can easily tip into obsession, which is a dangerous thing, especially when those affected are they very people who so loyally stand and wait. -Henry Worsley”
“Always a little further . . . a little further.” James Elroy Flecker
“I hold that a man should strive to the uttermost for his life’s set prize.” Robert Browning
“A man must shape himself to a new mark directly the old one goes to ground.” Ernest Shackleton
“To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Alfred, Lord Tennyson
“As it is true of many adventurers, he seemed to be on an inward quest as much as an outward one-the journey was a way to subject himself to an ultimate test of character.”
“Men go out into the void spaces of the world for various reasons. Some are actuated simply by a love of adventure, some have the keen thirst for scientific knowledge, and others again are drawn away from the trodden paths by the ‘lure of little voices’, the mysterious fascination of the unknown.”
