One of his men, Thomas McLeod, a devout Catholic, scooped up the scripture and kept it in secret, thinking it bad luck to do otherwise. The previous September, the ship had turned around for Mrs. Chippy after the cat had leapt overboard. But new circumstances brought new priorities; Shackleton had three of the youngest pups shot along with the cat. Pistol at the ready, Shackleton threatened to shoot McNish. I shall never forget him in this time of strain and stress. The men escaped the Endurance with all the food they could tow — it would only be enough to last them four weeks. With their food supply depleted, they began hunting penguins and seals. To celebrate leap day, the men had three full meals. Supper: a stew made from seal meat to which was added six 1lb tins of Irish stew and one of jugged hare, which we had been keeping for weeks especially for this occasion. By the end of March, more than a year after becoming trapped on the ice, the men had been forced to eat all of their sled dogs. To make matters worse, the ice below their camp had thinned; it would crack at any moment. On April 9, , the crew, still 28 men including Shackleton, climbed into three lifeboats they had saved from the Endurance. They left the ice, sailing toward a tiny, barren piece of land called . After seven days at sea, the crew finally reached land for the first time in 16 months. No one knew that Ernest Shackleton and his crew were trapped on Elephant Island. Facing possible death, Shackleton gambled on another sea voyage: back toward Georgia. The journey was miles, and he only had a single lifeboat, the James Caird. He had caulked the boat with a mixture of flour, oil paint, and seal blood. was left in command of the party left behind. Then seeing some of the party in tears I immediately set them all to work. Sailing nonstop for two and a half weeks, the six aboard the James Caird suffered from bleeding sores and saltwater boils; they were all frostbitten to different degrees and continuously wet. tried to chart a course using a sextant and no landmarks. Over the day period, Worsley could only take four sextant readings. If the James Caird missed South Georgia, it would doom their crew of six and the lives of the men left behind on Elephant Island. It was a mighty upheaval of the ocean, a thing quite apart from the big white-capped seas that had been our tireless enemies for many days. White surged the foam of the breaking sea around us. We felt our boat lifted and flung forward like a cork in breaking surf. We were in a seething chaos of tortured water; but somehow the boat lived through it, half full of water, sagging to the dead weight and shuddering under the blow. We bailed with the energy of men fighting for life, flinging the water over the sides with every receptacle that came to our hands, and after ten minutes of uncertainty we felt the boat renew her life beneath us. Dubbed a miracle of navigation, the mile journey has been called the greatest boat journey ever accomplished. Their plight was worse than ours. We must push on somehow. Shackleton, Worsley, and another man, , readied themselves to leave the other three men behind and hike more than 20 miles of uncharted land rife with mountains and glaciers. They brought three days worth of rations; any more would be too much of a burden for the final leg of their journey. After marching 36 straight hours, the three men — ragged, haggard, and smeared with blubber soot — finally reached the whaling community on May 20, When Shackleton told the station manager who he was, a whaler within earshot began to weep. Shackleton then had to find a ship to return to Elephant Island. Yet ice once again made it impossible to reach his Antarctic destination. For months, Shackleton made multiple rescue attempts, all of which failed. Finally, on his fourth attempt, Shackleton reached Elephant Island. It was Aug. When the rescue mission spotted Elephant Island, Shackleton pulled out his binoculars, counting the men on the beach. Ernest Shackleton and his crew returned to London in October , more than two years after leaving. Every single crew member of the Endurance had survived. One by one, all but three of the 26 dogs died from stress and starvation. The Aurora itself was blown out to sea by a storm and trapped in ice from May to March , leaving the team of 10 stranded. After the ice finally melted, the Aurora was able to dislodge and resupply in New Zealand. The ship would not be able to rescue the Party until Jan.

At its simplest, this film gives you greater appreciation of the comforts that surround us every day. Car window not working? Browser crashing on you? Vending machine rob you of 75 cents? I am not sure the makers would have seen it this way, but I see this film, ultimately, as a downer. A day-grayer. After going so deep into gloom and walking around in it for a couple of hours, it has an effect on you. If you are at all like me, you sat pinched, really dreading to find out what is coming up next. Yet after seeing it, I definitely stepped out of the theater into the frozen weather, feeling warmer, far warmer than when I had gone in. It is a film that makes you actively search for the uplift; a thought-provoking experience. Ten stars. See it. Looking for some great streaming picks?

When reaching their destination, the temperature suddenly dropped 40 degrees. After 17 days, they reached the island but assistance was nowhere in sight. Miraculously, Shackleton was able to rescue his men without a single loss of life. There were no parades or honors for Shackleton and his crew. In fact, many in England considered them war-evaders and malingerers. San Francisco Chronicle. Rebecca moves on…. John and Molly Chester followed their dream. When they were evicted from their Santa Monica apartment because their dog would not stop barking, they bought…. Shackleton did not at this stage abandon all hope of breaking free, but was now contemplating the "possibility of having to spend a winter in the inhospitable arms of the pack". Thereafter she began moving with the pack in a northerly direction. The dogs were taken off board and housed in ice-kennels or "dogloos", and the ship's interior was converted to suitable winter quarters for the various groups of men—officers, scientists, engineers, and seamen. A wireless apparatus was rigged, but their location was too remote to receive or transmit signals. Shackleton was aware of the recent example of 's ship, the Deutschland , which had become icebound in the same vicinity three years earlier. Shackleton thought that a similar experience might allow Endurance to make a second attempt to reach Vahsel Bay in the following Antarctic spring. In February and March, the rate of drift was very slow. On 14 April, Shackleton recorded the nearby pack "piling and rafting against the masses of ice"—if the ship was caught in this disturbance "she would be crushed like an eggshell". It would be at least four months before spring brought the chance of an opening of the ice, and there was no certainty that Endurance would break free in time to attempt a return to the Vahsel Bay area. In the dark winter months of May, June and July, Shackleton was concerned to maintain fitness, training and morale. Although the scope for activity was limited, the dogs were exercised and on occasion raced competitively , men were encouraged to take moonlight walks, and aboard ship there were attempted theatricals. Special occasions such as Empire Day were duly celebrated. The position was perilous; Shackleton wrote: "The effects of the pressure around us was awe-inspiring. During this relative lull the ship drifted into the area where, in , Captain of the sealer Wasp reported seeing a coastline which he identified as " New South ". There was no sign of any such land; Shackleton concluded that Morrell had been deceived by the presence of large icebergs. On 30 September, the ship sustained what Shackleton described as "the worst squeeze we had experienced". When the timbers broke they made noises which sailors later described as being similar to the sound of "heavy fireworks and the blasting of guns". From around plates, Hurley chose the best , the maximum that could be carried, and smashed the rest. With the loss of the ship the transcontinental plans were abandoned, and the focus shifted to that of survival. Shackleton's intention now was to march the crew westward, to one or other of several possible destinations. Shackleton over-ruled him. Before the march could begin, Shackleton ordered the weakest animals to be shot, including the carpenter Harry McNish 's cat, , and a pup which had become a pet of the surgeon Macklin. Problems quickly arose, as the condition of the sea ice around them worsened. According to Hurley the surface became "a labyrinth of hummocks and ridges", in which barely a square yard was smooth. Parties continued to revisit the Endurance wreck, which was still drifting with the ice a short distance from the camp. Conditions, however, had not improved since the earlier attempt. Temperatures had risen and it was uncomfortably warm, with men sinking to their knees in soft snow as they struggled to haul the boats through the pressure ridges. Shackleton's firm remonstrance finally brought the carpenter to heel, but the incident was never forgotten. Supplies were now running low. In January, all but two teams of the dogs whose overall numbers had been depleted by mishaps and illness in the preceding months were shot on Shackleton's orders, because the dogs' requirements for seal meat were excessive. The party now had land more or less continuously in sight. This lay far to the west, toward the South Shetland Islands , but Shackleton thought it might be attainable by island-hopping. Its advantage was that it was sometimes visited by whalers, and might contain provisions, whereas Clarence Island and Elephant Island were desolate and unvisited. Earlier, the lifeboats had been named after the expedition's three chief financial sponsors: James Caird , Dudley Docker and Stancomb Wills. The end of Patience Camp was signalled on the evening of 8 April, when the floe suddenly split. The camp now found itself on a small triangular raft of ice; a break-up of this would mean disaster, so Shackleton readied the lifeboats for the party's enforced departure. This could provide a source of timber that might enable them to construct a seaworthy boat. Shackleton himself commanded the James Caird , Worsley the Dudley Docker , and navigating officer Hubert Hudson was nominally in charge of the Stancomb Wills , though because of his precarious mental state the effective commander was Tom Crean. The boats were surrounded by ice, dependent upon leads of water opening up, and progress was perilous and erratic. Frequently the boats were tied to floes, or dragged up onto them, while the men camped and waited for conditions to improve. Shackleton therefore decided that Elephant Island, the nearest of the possible refuges, was now the most practical option. On 14 April, the boats lay off the south-east coast of Elephant Island, but could not land as the shore consisted of perpendicular cliffs and glaciers. Next day the James Caird rounded the eastern point of the island, to reach the northern lee shore, and discovered a narrow shingle beach. Soon afterwards, the three boats, which had been separated during the previous night, were reunited at this landing place. It was apparent from high tide markings that this beach would not serve as a long-term camp, [77] so the next day Wild and a crew set off in the Stancomb Wills to explore the coast for a safer site. With minimum delay the men returned to the boats and transferred to this new location, which they later christened . Elephant Island was remote, uninhabited, and rarely visited by whalers or any other ships. If the party was to return to civilization it would be necessary to summon help. Shackleton had abandoned thoughts of taking the party on the less dangerous journey to Deception Island , [79] because of the poor physical condition of many of his party. Port Stanley in the was closer than South Georgia, but could not be reached, as this would require sailing against the strong prevailing winds. On instructions from Shackleton, McNish immediately set about adapting the James Caird , improvising tools and materials. The The success of the voyage depended on the pin-point accuracy of Worsley's navigation, using observations that would have to be made in the most unfavourable of conditions. Soon ice settled thickly on the boat, making her ride sluggishly. Two days later, after a prolonged struggle with heavy seas and hurricane-force winds to the south of the island, the party struggled ashore at . The arrival of the James Caird at King Haakon Bay was followed by a period of rest and recuperation, while Shackleton pondered the next move. The populated whaling stations of South Georgia lay on the northern coast. To reach them would mean either another boat journey around the island, or a land crossing through its unexplored interior. The condition of the James Caird , and the physical state of the party, particularly Vincent and McNish , meant that the crossing was the only realistic option. After five days, the party took the boat a short distance eastwards, to the head of a deep bay which would be the starting point for the crossing. Shackleton, Worsley and Crean would undertake the land journey, the others remaining at what they christened " Peggotty Camp ", to be picked up later after help had been obtained from the whaling stations. Their destination was the whaling station at Stromness , which had been the last port of call of the Endurance on their outbound journey. Shackleton and his men did not know that during their two-year absence in Antarctica, the station's owners had begun year-round operations. Without a map, the route they chose was largely conjectural. They were above Possession Bay , which meant they would need to move eastward to reach Stromness. This meant the first of several backtrackings that would extend the journey and frustrate the men. At the close of that first day, needing to descend to the valley below them before nightfall, they risked everything by sliding down a mountainside on a makeshift rope sledge. Early next morning, 20 May, seeing Husvik Harbour below them, they knew that they were on the right path. At seven o'clock in the morning, they heard the steam whistle sound from Stromness, "the first sound created by an outside human agency that had come to our ears since we left in December ".
