This is amazing. I read Shackletons book "South" a few years ago, absolutely incredible what they went through.

OMG look how well preserved that is! Thanks for the pik!

I agree. One of the most amazing stories of survival and leadership ever known.
Their journey, across 800 miles of arctic winter ocean in a small semi-covered boat, with only three navigational fixes along the way (everything else dead reckoned) is I think the greatest navigational feat of all time.
And then, after actually hitting land, to have to march over the glaciers.
Astonishing.

Yes! The James Caird launch, can you imagine the cold?? It's amazing how not one man died.

I saw it at the Peabody-Essex Museum a few years back.
Just amazing.

And they didn’t have Gore-Tex foul weather gear and down jackets. Wool.

This is so cool.
But it’s not very shocking that it’s in good condition, so deep and sooooo cold.

No oxygen at 10,000 feet down, so no decomposition.

I just watched “Against the Ice” on Netflix. Definitely worth the time if you have Netflix still.

That book gave me chills.
One of the best reads ever.

Amazon Prime has a fantastic documentary called “Shackleton’s Captain”.
If u don’t want to read the book, I encourage those to watch it.
It is a great story.
