PODS members Dave and Drew Wilson took a bucket list trip to South Georgia and Antarctica last Christmas and ended up visiting many of the key locations involved in the rescue of the 28 members of the Imperial Transantarctica Expedition, marooned on the sea ice in 1914 after their ship Endurance was frozen in and crushed. Dave will give a presentation illustrated by his photos from the 2024 expedition and from Endurance photographer Frank Hurley, describing the trials and tribulations of Sir Ernest Shackleton and the rest of the crew as they survived for over 18 months on the ice and afloat on the Southern Ocean.
