Beached Tender, Grytviken




I think this will be my final Grytviken image for this week. This shot was taken just in front of the cemetery containing Shackleton’s grave, looking back towards the main whaling station. The derelict boat in the foreground is about the size of the tender that Shackleton and 5 of the Endurance crew used to sail 800 miles from Elephant Island to South Georgia in the Antarctic winter of 1916.

For the technically inclined...
