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.

That book gave me chills.

One of the best reads ever.

Those men were MEN.

Nothing short of miraculous. God was with them.

A fantastic true story.
