The Endurance by Caroline Alexander

This video shows actual footage of the ship stuck on the ice. The video says that the ship is a sailors home, and when he leaves the ship he is at a loss. I think this is very important in the story. In the movie 180' South and Into the Wild, the adventure does not start until something goes wrong. In this case, the crash of the ship went wrong, and now the sailors are in a place where they should not be. The video also shows the dogs that they had aboard the ship. These dogs started off useful and energetic, but then became a pain when there was not enough food around. The struggles that the crew goes through are difficult, but they show the theme of adaptation. In order to survive, you must adapt.
