Shackleton Centenary Expedition
Bob Greschke of the US Antarctic base at McMurdo has kindly sent some wonderful video footage (our first of the expedition). The video can viewed at our Vimeo site. Katie Leum, also from McMurdo, has sent 3 wonderful photos (see below).
Please note that the photos are high resolution so may take some time to download, but click on any of the pictures below to see the high-res version.
In the first photo (an utterly fantastic shot) the boys can be seen standing beside the cross at Hut Point which commentaries T Vince of the British Antarctic Expedition of 1901-1904 who lost his life in the vicinity in March 1902.
