I'm a day late remembering what is probably the single most unforgettable feat in the history of Antarctic exploration - the arrival of the James Caird lifeboat & its 6 man crew, at South Georgia, having crossed 800 miles of the monstrous Southern Ocean. tomcreandiscovery.com/on-this-day-ma…

Shackleton, Worsley and Crean rose at 2a.m. on Friday 19th May 1916, and prepared some hoosh. The three men then roped themselves together in the moonlight and took their first steps on their journey into the unknown. #shackleton #tomcrean #southgeorgia tomcreandiscovery.com/on-this-day-ma…

Aboard Shackleton's 'Endurance' the men held a head-shaving extravaganza on 20 May, 1915. #Shackleton #CabinFever Image: Scott Polar Research Institute Careful this doesn't give you ideas, Hyik!

In the early afternoon of May 20th 1916, three eerie creatures emerged from the rugged interior of South Georgia, and stumbled towards the buildings of Stromness whaling station….. #shackleton #tomcrean #southgeorgia #legends #stromness tomcreandiscovery.com/on-this-day-ma…

Having only arrived in Stromness earlier that afternoon, after the perilous crossing of South Georgia’s jagged, ice covered interior, Frank Worsley agreed to accompany the relief mission to pick up the three men stranded on the other side of the island. tomcreandiscovery.com/on-this-day-ma…

And this was the moment! It was the moment the escape from the ice was over, and the rescue could begin. How glorious did the blubber drenched, whale stenched, galvanised garrison of Stromness, appear to the three men, that day? #shackleton #tomcrean tomcreandiscovery.com/shackleton-cre…

Commander Harry Lewin Lee Pennell, Royal Navy officer & #Antarctic explorer, was one of 1,266 crewmen who died at the Battle of #Jutland, 31 May, 1916, when HMS ‘Queen Mary’ was sunk. #Pennell was Captain of Scott's 'Terra Nova'. Scott Polar Research Institute Tealin is on Bluesky Anne Fletcher

It's not every day that you get the job of driving the Prime Minister around Antarctica in a hagglunds vehicle.

November 1st 1911 - Scott departs for the South Pole. Those remaining behind at Cape Evans, gave the departing group a cheering send off, and watched on, as they gradually disappeared south into the vast Antarctic whiteness, some never to return. tomcreandiscovery.com/scott-leaves-c…

#OnThisDay 1920 Eileen Quinn, a 23 year old mother of three (who was 7 months pregnant) from Gort, Galway was shot by passing Black and Tans while holding her 9 month old baby in her lap. Eileen was hit in the groin by a bullet & bled to death later that day. #Ireland #History

23 warriors, to mention but the immediate, who went to war in the green fields of France - north, south, catholic, protestant, islanders of this desperately beautiful place - who won - not just a game, not just our hearts, but surely some semblance of togetherness to build upon.
