...seriously. Mainstream athletes make so much money, it's just a job for them," says Jonathon Meir, 14, of Incline Village, Nev. His friend Tyler McPherron, 14, adds that he associates football with "a bunch of old guys sitting on the couch and drinking beer."

What did happen became legend. The Endurance was caught in drifting pack ice during the coldest season in memory and, after weeks of trying to follow open-water leads, was frozen in. And there the ship stayed. Shackleton and his men were prepared to winter over, and they did, still fairly confident, killing penguins to stretch out their stores of food.
