secton 4
As they continue on their journey, the men travel
some 140 nautical miles in three tiny open boats through the most
dangerous sea on earth to make an unlikely but successful landfall on
tiny Elephant Island, a rocky and
inhospitable chunk of rock in the South Sea. During this portion of
the text the men suffer the most-extreme hardships of the entire
expedition.
Shortly after abandoning Patience Camp
the three tiny open craft—each about twenty-two feet in length and six
feet in beam encounter a tide rip and are nearly overtaken by a
tumbling, agitated mass of ice and water. They spend the first night tied off to a small floe but conditions are so dangerous that Shackleton decides to spend future nights in the boats if at all possible. A second desperate night spent on a crumbling floe. Again, these men are extremely courageous. I wouldnt have made it past part I.

I would have never made it past part 1 as well, Its crazy to me that they can't even sleep in the boat anymore.
