I've just finished watching the 4 part series "Shackleton: Death or Glory" that was on SBS. A group of blokes recreated the voyage Shackleton and some of his men did from Elephant Island to South Georgia to arrange the rescue the rest of the team that were left behind.

This week there is also the 2 part drama, "Shackleton" on National Geographic channel (I recorded episode 1 last night).

I have two of Frank Hurley's photos up on the wall in my computer room. I'd love to see all his photos from that expedition.

Hurley was also an official War Photographer in both World wars.

Look good in the pool room. Made by the same person who did the video.
