Summary

[edit]
Description

After all the miserable news of recent times, I was genuinely touched by the rediscovery of Shackleton's "Endurance", earlier this week, 100 Years after Shackleton's death. Endurance was found at a depth of 3,008 metres and approximately four miles south of the position originally recorded by the ship’s captain, Frank Worsley.

I've always been a nut for (ant)arctic exploration. And Shackleton (15 February 1874 – 5 January 1922) is one of my heroes. This photograph shows the rear of Earnest Shackleton's grave at Grytviken, South Georgia. Beautiful words, wonderful peaceful place.

The imagery of the wreck is fantastic:
