This after surviving one of the most incredible small jounrney in history after his crew were marooned on Elephant Island (Antarctica), after a failed attempt to enter the Weddell Sea to cross the Antarctican continent. This walk is the last section of this epic journey across South Georgia Island to the Stromness Whaling Station.
