Ernest Shackleton, Trans Antarctic Expedition on the ship Endurance, 1914 - 1917.
1915 - Shackleton's ship Endurance crushed by sea ice but held in place, the ship is abandoned and the men and dogs make camp on an ice floe.
"A sickening sensation to feel the decks break under one's feet, great beams bending and snapping with a noise like heavy gunfire."
