Nonsuch?

Earlier today Sam Willis posted some pics on his blog that were taken during filming of Channel 4's Shackleton documentary. The images, which show their ship forcing its way into the pack ice, are quite something. I rather liked this one.


Willis' pictures were taken in the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland, but I guess it could be the Baltic in winter ;)

Oo, good one. I guess Captain Bush would've left his station as late as he possibly could in case there was a chance to ferry the Commodore back with him...

Shackleton. Such a hero in our house. Many a mention: "Shackleton wouldn't have complained about having to carry that bag". "I felt like Shackleton, going round Waitrose", etc.

He should be a hero in every house.

Have been reading lately about the Saratoga campaign and ice bringing battle season to a halt = these are very evocative.

Likewise, I just finished reading Shelley's Frankenstein and was seeing this picture as I read. Lovely.
