22.00 hrs 12th December. It has been snowing all evening. Elephant Island looms out of the dusk. This is the sight which greeted Shackleton as he and his crew headed for the nearest land in 3 open boats. His crew over-wintered here under an upturned boat while Shackleton and two crew made for South Georgia in the James Caird. This is summer.
