Some times I think my Job is too hard and I want to run away and explore the South Pole

[GAC05]

After looking at photos of the explorers and their ages, I think, maybe not.

Shackleton’s Hut

Located in McMurdo Sound, this historic hut was used by Shackleton and his crew during their legendary attempt to reach the South Pole

Thanks for the info GAC05, enjoyable reading and pictures. To cold for my blood.

That was interesting, never heard of them before. 33 and leading an expedition! I guess the old 33 is like the new 60. Good reading over my breakfast

That was really interesting. Why did they leave so abruptly? Did the article say and I missed it?
I'm glad the explorers in later time repaired and preserved that cabin. Super cool.

Why did they leave so abruptly?

They found the edge of the earth

Andrew Jackson was given the moniker,Old Hickory or Hick by his men . I believe 45 or younger.
the photo of Shakelton I’ll bet is older than stated.

There is no way I could survive in such cold weather. I might be from the NE, but have been a southerner for long enough that I prefer heat to cold. Today it has been in the 30's in NC and me and the puppy both refuse to go outside, lol.

They found the edge of the earth

Where little grey men in black suits gave them stacks of cash for their silence.

I start calling shenanigans if it gets near 20 degrees ABOVE zero. You can keep that polar nonsense!
