| Yes we did visit Shackleton's grave. Toasted the man himself. We also visited Elephant Island where he was shipwrecked in Antarctica and had to leave men to go for help in a lifeboat. A British member of our expedition team re-enacted that voyage in a replica of the lifeboat with only what Shackleton would have had with him! Clothing, food etc! An epic voyage accross the southern ocean from Antarctica to South Georgia. |

Great photo, though not the weather I'd have expected to see there. :-)
Did you have a chance (or inclination) to visit Shackleton's gravesite? |

Thank you everyone for the lovely comments. It really was an amazing experience. We did Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctica. The brown penguins are juvenile Kings! Sailors who first saw them thought they were a separate species and called them Oakum Boys!
Go see it all before it is gone! |

Congratulations. |
