Interesting adventure and exploration stories

[Rebew]

The thread on the Thailand cave rescue had links to some very interesting stories about cave diving and the dangers of deep water diving, I thought I would start this thread for people to share stories of similar adventures that they have come across (doesn't have to be cave diving)

Links to two of the articles from the cave rescue thread are below, I can't imagine many things more terrifying than these!

I'd read the first link a few days ago. Quite something.

I just read the entirety of the second link. Adventurous, courageous and just scary bravery. Great read.

It's not quite exploration but is certainly still an interesting read about salvaging a ship...

There must be countless stories from the war of people doing the impossible simply because they had to!
