On 24th April 1916 Shackleton and five men set sail in the 23ft James Caird for South Georgia. In March 2016 they saw land for the first time and in April they finally made it ashore with the lifeboats landing on Elephant Island, north of the Antarctic Peninsula. The men tried to walk, dragging life boats and provisions with them, but it was too difficult so they set up Ocean Camp on an ice floe and drifted with the ice. In October 1915 the ship was crushed by the ice and the men had to abandon ship and live on the drifting ice. The expedition never reached the starting point for the Antarctic crossing and they became frozen into pack ice at the southern edge of the Weddell Sea. The story of the Endurance expedition that unfolded is one of the great tales of polar history, and is central to the history of the island of South Georgia. ![]() Still from interactive map – see link below ![]() ![]() ![]() Because someone Bree loves is targeted as the next to die.

And so for the deaf community, they have an idea, a utopian idea called “Eyeth”, and it's something that I just haven't been able to get out of my mind since I read your book.

I scoop my phone up from the chunky table and dunk my finger in Kate’s cake mixture. Yes, my personal organisation skills are pretty shocking, especially since I’m an interior designer, who spends all day coordinating and organising.
