Fergus, Weaver of Autistic Webs’s Reviews > Endurance: Shackleton's Extraordinary Voyage > Status Update

Eleven hundred miles east of the sailor’s graveyard of Cape Horn... lies the small, mountainous, snow-covered island of South Georgia.... On December 4, 1914, on the island’s eastern tip... lay the Endurance, its name evoking a Shackleton family motto - “by endurance we conquer.”
- so fitting, given later events!
