Site Report: South Georgia Island - Stromness, Antarctica

Visits

• 2021-11-30: Next visit was to visit some waterfall that Shackelton visited. For those who don't know the story, Shackelton skipped World War I to go and try to be the first to the South Pole. Instead, they were more or less unprepared and drifted around Antarctica for awhile. Eventually, Shackelton was forced to risk everything to save the crew, and he barely and luckily succeeded. So basically the guy who gets you arrested but also bails you out of prison. In the meantime, his support crew died waiting for them on the other side of Antarctica.
