To everyone who has followed this virtual Expedition, @EShackleton sends his most heartfelt thanks and regards.

"I always feel as long as I am doing the work & getting through the fight that all is well."

[Emily insisted that Shackleton be buried at Grytviken in South Georgia, in the latitudes he so loved.]

"The old familiar smell of dead whale permeates everything."
