After a voyage of 800 miles in an open boat, through freezing waters, waves of 20–50 ft and winds of up to 40 mph, Shackleton landed on South Georgia after 14 days at sea. Unfortunately the whaling station was on the opposite side of the island. With most of the crew exhausted, Shackleton and two others climbed over the mountainous terrain in freezing conditions and reached the whaling station 36 hours later. Although it was to be another 10 months before the rest of his crew were rescured every single member of the expedition survived.
