The Endurance expedition
When sea ice crushed Endurance, the crew reached Elephant Island in lifeboats. Shackleton and five others took the James Caird to South Georgia to seek help, with Frank Worsley navigating. The people who stayed behind were eventually picked up by a Chilean navy tug. Each leg depended on a different crew doing its part.
