【英语周报】外研版选修八备课资料：Module 1 背景材料 文章 南极探险

过程记录
1914年8月1日，英国籍的船只坚忍号（The Endurance）从英国的伦敦出发，打算航行至南极圈的威德尔海。

全船共载有28人，成员包括水手、军人与科学家，由曾参与过两次南极探险活动的夏洛顿（Ernest Shackleton）率领。

这艘船载了英国跨越南极小队将要登陆南极洲，企图缔造记录，成为第一支徒步穿越南极大陆的队伍。

1915年2月22日，坚忍号来到南纬77度，距离南极陆地144公里处－－这是他们所能到达的最南点了。

此后，坚忍号被困在浮冰中，随之漂流，离陆地渐远，船身逐渐承受不住流冰群的挤压。

船上众人不得不弃船，转移至浮冰上扎营；不多久，坚忍号爆裂拆毁。

28个男人自此展开了雪地求生记。

队长夏洛顿以过人的乐观精神带领著这一群性格迥异的人。

他们尽管时有摩擦与龃龉，但始终能以一个团队的方式互相支持。

在夏洛顿的领导之下，为了让心志坚强，他们保持规律的作息；为了维生，他们猎杀企鹅与海豹；为了活著回家，他们甚至两度冒险搭乘没有遮篷的划桨小木船，在雪狂风急的极区海域中朝著可以登陆的岛屿而去；第一次，连续划了七天的桨，第二次则足足航行了十七天。

一行人吃尽了肉体上的苦头，尝够了心灵上的折磨－－终于，在受困于雪地二十个月之后，他们见到了久违的人类同胞；28个人全活著，一条命都没丢。
