"Strained every muscle and nerve to the limit..."

The Southern Party, 1909 aboard Nimrod - Frank Wild, Ernest Shackleton, Eric Marshall, Jameson B. Adams

Summing up their attempt to reach the South Pole on Shackleton's 1908 - 1909 Nimrod expedition, Frank Wild wrote in the 1930s, "All through this journey, Shackleton strained every muscle and nerve to the limit as he always did in the twenty years I knew him when strenuous action was called for."
