Shackleton Epic

While we're all hibernating in the northern hemisphere, now is the perfect time of year to be embarking on a historic reenactment of Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition; which is exactly what explorer Tim Jarvis and his Shackleton Epic crew are up to right now. Using authentic 1914 equipment and clothing, the team are recreating the original route of Shackleton's failed voyage in Endurance and his subsequent inland march over South Georgia to get help for the surviving doomed crew members. These chaps will be enjoying Mackinlay's limited edition Sahckleton Scotch, North Sea Clothing's lovely wooly jumpers, and looking like a Nigel Cabourn shoot for the next few weeks. You can follow their progress as well as filling yourself in on the rest of the background here. Pics below taken from their online gallery:
