We descended into the valley, strained to the height of the throw, until her seams opened, and swung our little boat.
It was hard to imagine a situation in which three strangers could appear from anywhere on the whaling station, let alone from the direction of the mountain. .
We made it to the top!
It was the first time they had been on dry land since leaving South Georgia 497 days earlier. But their ordeal was not yet over. There was little chance of anyone running into them, so after nine days of recovery and preparation, Shackleton, Worsley, and four others set out in one of the lifeboats, James Caird, to seek help at the South Georgia whaling station. More than 800 miles away.
Who the hell are you?"
My name is Shackleton." I - I turn my back and weep.
For 16 days they battled huge swells and angry winds, bursting water from the boat and knocking ice from the sails. Shackleton recorded.
We can finally go home.
The next day, the winds died down and we made landfall. Help was almost at hand. But this was not the end either. The storm knockedJames Caird off course and landed on the other side of the island from the whaling station. They climbed mountains, slid down glaciers, made their way along paths never before made by man, and staggered into the station after 36 hours of frantic hiking.

Once the other three members of James Caird were retrieved, attention turned to rescuing the remaining 22 men on Elephant Island. Still, after all, that had gone before, this last task proved to be, in many ways, the most trying and time-consuming of all. The first ship Shackleton departed on ran dangerously low on fuel while attempting to navigate the ice floes and was forced to return to the Falkland Islands.
However, Shackleton did procure a third ship, the Yelcho, from Chile. Finally, on August 30, 1916, the story of the Endurance and its crew came to an end.
He began another expedition to Antarctica, but the veterans of the ENDURANCE who rejoined him found him weaker, less confident, and seemingly lost the spirit that had kept them alive.On January 5, 1922, on the ship in South Georgia, he suffered a heart attack in his bunk and died.
