The Endurance by Caroline Alexander

In the link above is a picture of the ship The Endurance in the harbor, while Worsley and Greenstreet are on the top of a mountain. While the boat was docked and re-stocking, the crew members would go on adventures. This adventure was climbing a nearby mountain. This symbolizes the climb that is ahead of them, although they do not yet realize it. Several members of the crew liked to go off on their own and climb dangerous cliffs, but the captain forbade them. Nature is an important theme. A respect for nature is necessary in survival. At this point I think all of these men respect nature because of how they take picture of the wildlife, to "preserve the images"
