Wish I lived a bit closer ... would love to see this exhibition.

Anyone interested in Shackleton's epic might like to check out:

http://www.pelagic.co.uk/log97ind/arind.html

This is a log of an attempt in 1997 to recreate Shackleton's remarkable
passage from Elephant Island to South Georgia in the 'Tom Crean', a
replica of Shackleton's 23 ft boat the 'James Caird'.

With the support boat 'Pelagic' this is gripping stuff ... Shackleton's
original journey - we are not worthy!.

Cheers
