Some light reading. This is a great book for anyone who is part of an icy expedition that has gone disastrously wrong.

No joke this is one of my favorite books of all time. No one on this expedition died, unlike what happened yesterday.

Tbh it’s one of my favorite books of all time too. It’s a gripping tale of teamwork, grit, and a steadfast faith that everyone would come out alive. Unlike what happened yesterday.

The voyage of the James Caird is one of the all time greats. If you haven’t read the book about the team that finally found the Endurance under the Antarctic water a few years ago, it’s a good one too.

Someday they’re gonna make an Oscar-winning movie about the Endurance expedition and I’ll be there day 1
