For those of you who have been to Antarctica & South Georgia and those hoping to go there, there is a program on PBS tonight, Aug 12, on Shackleton. Here in FL it is at 8pm and repeated at 9 & 10. Jim
It turns out that it is a 3 part series of a recreation of Shackleton's lifeboat journey from elephant Island to South Georgia. I think the re-creators had a more solid boat, but the story is interesting.
Thanks so much the the heads up, Jim, I watched the first two segments today via Comcast On Demand. Fascinating how everything was authentic, including the clothes they wore, no GPS, just a sextant to guide them. Of course. With an escort ship following them, not quite the dangers Shackleton faced!
