The Glacier Slide!! 🤯

It’s mind blowing that they were able to do complete this crossing with the equipment and rations they had.

Even with all their high tech kit they were forced to turn back yesterday and go around the glacier.

But today the sun is out and they’re enjoying some prime South Georgia spring skiing!

See you tomorrow!

The pulk drag at the end was rough 😨

Always gutting have to turn back but respecting the mountains and the conditions is the most important thing.

Tomorrow will bring new opportunity for adventure.

Shackleton of course had no option but to push through - it was life or death.

Could you survive this?! 🤯

It’s mind blowing that over 100 years ago Shackleton, Worsley and Crean set out to cross these mountains - without any technical equipment or clothing, hardly any food and after weeks on the southern ocean in a tiny lifeboat.

The second day has started with a pretty crazy storm, crossing fingers that things improve!

Would you camp here?

Night 1 of the Shackleton Traverse. The second the sun dipped behind the mountain the temperature dropped so fast!

Could you hack this?? 🤯

Imagine how it must have been in open life boats for a full week, with next to no food and water.

But the quest is far from over, and what comes next is even more crazy.

Stay tuned!

Some crazy facts about the story👇

❄️Temperatures got down to minus 20 Celsius on the ice floe’s

❄️ They hunted penguins and seals to survive - using the blubber to make fuel for their stoves

❄️ Shackleton banned talk of pessimism - he wouldn’t let anyone say they were “trapped” or “finished.”
He rotated tent-mates so no one group could spiral into negativity.

THE ISOLATION WAS COMPLETE

21 November 1915 – the day Endurance slipped beneath the ice.

After months trapped in the pack, the bow finally dipped and the stern lifted 20 feet into the air. Shackleton and his men watched in silence as their ship slid slowly under, leaving only scattered debris and a pool of dark water that froze over almost instantly.

“She’s gone, boys,” Shackleton said – and their isolation was complete.

For over a century Endurance remained unseen, resting 3,008 metres below the Weddell Sea until she was discovered on 5 March 2022 by the Endurance22 expedition. Found six kilometres from the point where she sank, she stands today in extraordinary preservation.

A reminder of unwavering resolve, bold leadership and the courage to go on when all seems lost.

Remarkable photographs by Frank Hurley.

The whale at the end!! 🐳

What an adventure.

It had everything, ocean and mountain, wildlife, a frozen lake and completing the mission to climb a mountain that has never been climbed!

Over the moon and feeling so incredibly grateful today to be able to do these things.

Could you handle this? 🤯

This story gets more and more crazy. Imagine being trapped in ice on a ship, near Antarctica for 10 months and then the ship sinks!!!

Mind blowing.

And it only gets more crazy from here.

Stay tuned! See you tomorrow
