I am relieved that I didn't even know about this utterly harrowing tale of man's survival prior to my visit to Antarctica.When they start out, they're saying, "Shackleton did it in 1915, and we're fit, well-fed, and experienced mountaineers.

Shackleton readily abandoned his hopes for his expedition when disaster struck and focused on his crew’s safety; Stefansson abandoned most of his crew and set out on his own, never giving them another thought. Shackleton and a few men then set out again in a lifeboat for South Georgia Island, which was about 800 miles away.Even this part is nerve-wracking, as the crew offloaded all the provisions they could while the ship was literally groaning and bursting inward. If this were a work of fiction, you'd barely believe it, but you'd credit Alfred Lansing for his story-telling and imagination. Para la dirección científica, dadme a Scott; para un viaje rápido y eficaz, a Amundsen; pero cuando estéis en una situación desesperada, cuando parezca que no existe una salida, arrodilláos y rezad para que venga Shackleton. In October, 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice.
