The protagonist is snowed in, but that does not stop this explorer from faithfully keeping his Captain’s Log. The protagonist is inspired by his school project on Ernest Shackleton and relates his “Snowbound” story to Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition. At the end of the story there is information on Ernest Shackleton and a glossary for some of the nautical terms used in the book. There is also a note from the author explaining the inspiration for the story.
