From there, Shackleton and five crew members successfully sailed one of the 22.5-foot vessels 800 miles on the open seas in a rescue mission to a settlement in South Georgia, making the perilous crossing in 17 days. Shackleton then crossed the mountainous island by foot to reach a whaling station.Due to harrowing weather conditions, it took over three months and four attempts for Shackleton to return for the rest of the crew. Remarkably, the expedition suffered no casualties.
