Ernest Shackleton and his crew of the imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition watched as their ship, the Endurance was crushed by the frozen sea.They were left with no radio and no hope of rescue.For more than a year, they drifted on packed ice, surviving on seal, penguin, and eventually dog meat, while battling freezing temperatures and mind-numbing boredom.When Shackleton, along with all 28 members of the expedition, emerged at Stromness whaling station in May, 1916, almost two years after their departure, the world was shocked.
A tough breed of men. They survived what few modern men could in this era.
I thought at first this was the story of an artic expedition that suffered a very similar fate. I don't remember the name of the ship or captain, but not all survived that one.
