Harvard was not entirely without offensive opportunities of its own. Collins broke away from the pack late in the first half, but the Princeton defense reacted before she could even get a shot off. With 32 minutes left in the second frame, junior Katie Schoolwerth took two straight shots from the top of the circle off a penalty corner, but both were deflected before reaching...

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. Hurley climbed the yardarms to take photos, and at one point--amazingly, given the equipment he had to work with--lighted the frost-coated ship with 20 synchronized flashes for a dramatic night shot...
