Oh! it sure was a dandy sail and when the sun set behind the highlands and the light clouds all turned a gorgeous crimson we slipped quietly into a little branch and anchored in the deep shadow of the shore and watched a flock of geese wing to the southard. This was what we came for and it was way up to expectations.
-- Henry M Plummer, from The Boy, Me and the Cat

South: The Endurance Expedition
Shackleton's near-fatal journey to the Antarctic has received a

expedition, intended to lay the groundwork for Shackleton on the other
side of the continent.
