In 1914, Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men set off to cross Antarctica. Their ship, Endurance, was eventually trapped in ice and (failing to live up to its name) finally sank, stranding the men with no chance of rescue. Months later, they boarded their life-boats as the ice melted, eventually reaching an uninhabited island. From there, Shackleton and four others made an 800-mile sea journey in a small open boat until they finally found help.
Thankfully, Shackleton would die long before he could discover how much worse it is when your phone runs out of battery on a Saturday night and you've got no way to find that house party.
