In the Heart of the Sea was CRAZY. Why? Here's a list lol
Most of the people on the ship were greenhorns (newbies)..awesome, let's go whale hunting! Haha
Their ship almost sunk in a crazy storm, damaging a couple of important whaleboats
One guy went ashore at the island they were at and decided to start a fire for a prank or to be funny or something..but there was a drought, and he ended up burning down THE ENTIRE ISLAND!!! These sentences are burned into my brain: "When they weighed anchor the next morning, Charles remained an inferno. That night, after a day of sailing west along the equator, they could still see it burning against the horizon." Wow. Hundreds of animals died, and it's believed the fire led to the extinction of the Floreana Island tortoise. That's..wow. That guy must have felt so guilty D:
A huge whale rams and sinks their boat, and the men drift around the ocean for a couple months..their boats were attacked TWICE more, once by a shark and once by an orca. They refused to sail the "short" way to islands that they thought were inhabited by cannibals. The island they did land at was a coral atoll, where the only fresh water was a spring that was under water most of the time, and they quickly ate the island's animals. They also found skeletons of previous people that were shipwrecked there. Still they refused to sail to the islands that would have helped them...which led them to become cannibals themselves after their food ran out (ironic situation was ironic). They actually killed one guy (the one who drew the short stick) so they'd have something to eat. Wow. A ship eventually found the survivors gnawing on the bones of their shipmates. That's one crazy story!!
The Tanana River officially went out at 1:18 today! My last guess was yesterday..it had been so warm I thought it would have gone out sooner! It's been cooler the last few days though..yesterday and today I woke up to snow!! Go home weather, you're drunk. :P The tripod tipped over yesterday, but didn't stop the clock. There was a lady live streaming the tripod on Facebook last night and today..she was like "you guys know you're watching me watch ice melt?" LOL. She was filming when a bunch of ice snagged on the rope connected to the tripod, which was enough to stop the clock. She was totally freaking out haha..she was like "I GOT IT ON VIDEO!!! I WAS THERE!!" haha. I hope she does it next year, it was fun to watch lol

One guy went ashore at the island they were at and decided to start a fire for a prank or to be funny or something..but there was a drought, and he ended up burning down THE ENTIRE ISLAND!!! These sentences are burned into my brain: "When they weighed anchor the next morning, Charles remained an inferno. That night, after a day of sailing west along the equator, they could still see it burning against the horizon." Wow. Hundreds of animals died, and it's believed the fire led to the extinction of the Floreana Island tortoise. That's..wow. That guy must have felt so guilty D:
A huge whale rams and sinks their boat, and the men drift around the ocean for a couple months..their boats were attacked TWICE more, once by a shark and once by an orca. They refused to sail the "short" way to islands that they thought were inhabited by cannibals. The island they did land at was a coral atoll, where the only fresh water was a spring that was under water most of the time, and they quickly ate the island's animals. They also found skeletons of previous people that were shipwrecked there. Still they refused to sail to the islands that would have helped them...which led them to become cannibals themselves after their food ran out (ironic situation was ironic). They actually killed one guy (the one who drew the short stick) so they'd have something to eat. Wow. A ship eventually found the survivors gnawing on the bones of their shipmates. That's one crazy story!!
The Tanana River officially went out at 1:18 today! My last guess was yesterday..it had been so warm I thought it would have gone out sooner! It's been cooler the last few days though..yesterday and today I woke up to snow!! Go home weather, you're drunk. :P The tripod tipped over yesterday, but didn't stop the clock. There was a lady live streaming the tripod on Facebook last night and today..she was like "you guys know you're watching me watch ice melt?" LOL. She was filming when a bunch of ice snagged on the rope connected to the tripod, which was enough to stop the clock. She was totally freaking out haha..she was like "I GOT IT ON VIDEO!!! I WAS THERE!!" haha. I hope she does it next year, it was fun to watch lol
