We have reached the sinking site of the Endurance! The Agulhas II, led by Captain K. Bengu, assisted by F. Lighthelm and VL John Shears, has led us through heavy pack ice. Exploration Director, Mensun Bound, has said ‘we are the first people here since Shackleton and his men!’

"Most, though, find hidden strength and unanticipated freedom."
That is why I keep going to #marionisland. Nothing builds character like the #subAntarctic! #sanap
