"So he suggested they slide."The three of them (Shackleton, Worsley, and Crean) did what everybody does in the winter. They slid down a snowy slope. The difference is the reason. e do it because its a lot of fun. They did it to except the fact that they might freeze to death. (We also don't have to worry about the slope doing a straight dive and plummeting to our deaths.) The fact that this was an unprotected, not findable, and contained the element of a possibility of DEATH made it less then appealing but, it was still the best option.
This reminds me of last summer. The xc (cross country) team went cliff diving in St. Paul, Indiana. I am petrified of heights. It took a whole lot of convincing plus a full sprint with my eyes closed to go off the 40ft. jump. I don't plan on doing it again nor, do I think Worsley and Crean would redo their scenario if given the chance.
