A comment on Ernest Shackleton's Last Ship, Quest, Discovered Off the Coast of Canada. Parent comment
Including the previously mentioned Nansen. Nansen was a generation earlier though, and among other things built the ship Amundsen used.
Amundsen made something difficult look easy. Everyone else made the difficult look - difficult. And survived.
Except for Scott who died.
There is an analogy there with software projects by the way, except for maybe the dying part replaced with general failure.
