Ep 137: Shackleton, Part 4 — Six Days on the Boats, Unrelenting Obstacles, Impossible Conditions, But Finally Land!
Harry and Rafe continue with Bufnagle: the Podcast, Book Club Edition and the discussion of Alfred Lansing's book Endurance, the tail of Earnest Shackleton's ill-fated adventure to the South Pole during 1914, 1915, and 1916.
The men finally make a run for land after escaping from the ice but things go from bad to worse as the crew is met by one obstacle after another: constantly changing winds, mind-boggling currents, 30-foot waves, icebergs, killer whales, williwaws, and dehydration all test Shackleton's leadership, the sturdiness of the boats, and the unwavering survival-driven determination of the men.
