Hey, now. We're not all softies here in the 21st century. I've heard about people in this day and age standing in line up a half hour on weekends to pay 5 bucks for a cup of coffee!!
JK. I read Endurance years ago, then reread it. Unbelievable test of courage. 4 tests of will, any one of which would have most of us crying for our mommies. Just so many ways this could have gone bad, but everyone held it together.
Didn't I read somewhere where they found a case of whiskey on the ice floe recently?
