" After reading Shakleton's story I was interested in the what happened to the other ship that was sent to the other side of the continent to lay supply depots for Shakleton's men on the 2nd half of their journey. Of course they never made it, but these men could not have known. Their story is, as the title says, "harrowing," but not quite as jaw-dropping as Shakelton's journey. They lost a few men and experienced a lot of hardship, and you could say that in the end, it was really for nothing. Still, the men felt that pride that they had completed their mission regardless of the futility. Supposedly, some of those supply depots are still there, in remote areas of antarctica where they were left almost 100 years ago. "
