b"You've probably heard of Ernest Shackleton, and his ill-fated Antarctic\\xa0expedition. The\\xa0Endurance, the ship on which\\xa0he and his crew sailed, famously became trapped in ice, sunk, and set the men and their indomitable leader off on an arduous journey to safety and rescue.\\n\\nBut the Shackleton\\xa0expedition\\xa0wasn't the only one to meet such a fate,\\xa0and to become a crucible for leadership. The year before the demise of the\\xa0Endurance, the\\xa0Karluk, flagship vessel of the Canadian Arctic\\xa0Expedition, became icebound and sunk,\\xa0leaving its crew to trek 80 miles across dangerous ice floes to an island, and its captain to travel 1,000 miles more to obtain rescue for those marooned survivors. \\n\\nBuddy Levy shares that compelling story in his new book\\xa0Empire of Ice and Stone: The Disastrous and Heroic Voyage of the\\xa0Karluk, and unpacks it for us today on the show. Along the way, he brings out the leadership lessons in planning, maintaining morale, and embodying endurance you can glean from the expedition's two dominant figures: its ostensible leader, who abandoned\\xa0the ship, and the\\xa0Karluk's captain, who did all he could to save its shipwrecked survivors."
