500    Foreword by Alexandra Shackleton. 
520    In early 1914, British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton 
       embarked for the South Pole, hoping to make the first land
       crossing of Antarctica. For three years there was no word 
       from the expedition, and most assumed the men had 
       perished. Remarkably, however, the crew was alive, thanks 
       to Shackleton's leadership. After their ship was crushed 
       by ice and the men trapped on a small island, Shackleton 
       decided to attempt a risky eight-hundred-mile voyage 
       across the Southern Ocean. After seventeen days in a 
       leaking 22.5-foot wooden boat, they reached the remote 
       island of South Georgia, where they had to climb over 
       precipitous mountains to reach the whaling station on the 
       other side. Ultimately, Shackleton was able to rescue all 
       twenty-two crew members--a heroic triumph of endurance and
       leadership. In January 2013, using authentic period 
       clothing, equipment, and rations, and sailing a precise 
       replica of Shackleton's boat, Antarctica veteran Tim 
       Jarvis leads a six-man crew in an attempt to re-create 
       Shackleton's historic crossings, while documenting the 
       impact of a century of climate change on the region.
