Caption/alt-text: A thin layer of clouds in a blue sky over Shackleton’s Hut in Antarctica. The ground is gray and rocky with scattered patches of snow and ice. A tall pillar or tower sits to the left and a bit of the sea is visible to the right. A figure in an orange coat is walking towards the hut

Like many people, I went through a Shackleton phase many years ago. The Worst Journey in the World by Apsley Cherry-Garrard is just an amazing book. I’ll probably never get to Antarctica, but I would love to be in this landscape. Masto post.
