Ep 138: Shackleton, Part 5 — One Group Goes for Help; One Groups Sits and Waits and Wonders and Worries
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.
Within days of arriving at Elephant Island, Shackleton and five others depart in a modified James Caird in a last-ditch, do-or-die, Hail Mary attempt to reach civilization at South Georgia Island over 800 miles away. The party of 22 left behind sits through a painful 4 months on a lonely beach covered in penguin dung, wondering about the fortunes of their fellow journeymen, hoping against hope that they can beat the deadly Drake Passage.
