"MEN WANTED: FOR HAZARDOUS JOURNEY. SMALL WAGES, BITTER COLD, LONG MONTHS OF COMPLETE DARKNESS, CONSTANT DANGER, SAFE RETURN DOUBTFUL. HONOUR AND RECOGNITION IN CASE OF SUCCESS. SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON"

Shackletons ad in a London Paper.

And their ship was called Endurance.

This truly is a moving story. I've seen it recounted several times in different venues, and it still reaffirms my faith in all that men can be.

A&E television is airing the original film Shackleton starring Kenneth Braunaugh tonight and tomorrow night. (part one airs several times this evening, part two will air tomorrow). I plan on watching it. A&E has made some pretty good original docudramas.

FYI: The PBS special told the story using the original film and photos.

The A&E special was a BBC film staring Kenneth Branneth.

THe PBS told the story, the BBC film went into personalities, but I couldn't decide if I liked Branneth's portrayal or not.

Allister Mc Lean (the writer) used to have his fictional heros quote that if you were in an impossible bind, pray to God and ask for Shackelton.

I've been an Endurance fan ever since my brother lent me the book in junior high school.
