Endurance: Recreating Shackleton's Voyage - Tim Jarvis

Ernest Shackleton's 1914 "Endurance" voyage was a feat of survival against the elements and the odds, after his ship was destroyed by Antarctica sea ice and he made a mad dash to South Georgia Island, in an effort to be rescued. Shackleton endured this trip in a small boat across the Southern Ocean because his life depended on it. But Tim Jarvis' life didn't require that Shackleton's trip be recreated. But once Jarvis and his crew sailed into the Antarctic waters wearing only the cotton clothing of Shackleton's day, his life did depend on staying as dry as possible, and not falling into the water. Jarvis' expedition was captured in the book, Chasing Shackleton and in a PBS documentary.
