For a more uplifting Antarctic story check out Ernest Shackleton - who incidently was a member of one of Scott's earlier expeditions. I've seen the James Caird at Greenwich - it's tiny, and a friend of mine was lucky enough to visit his grave on South Georgia. I saw a really good exhibition on Shackleton last time I was at The National Museum at Collins Barracks, Dublin There was a ship on display in the courtyard but I don't recall if it was related or not.

I kid you not.

Until you have lost almost everything —- your ability to support yourself, the respect of your children, most of your worldly goods —- it's impossible to understand. I am an empty shell. Hmmmm.... like suitcases..... waiting to go somewhere!
