The White Darkness: A Solitary Journey Across Antarctica

by Edyflwr
This is a long, but excellent, read about Henry Worsley's attempt to trek across the continent of Antarctica in hopes of achieving what Ernest Shackleton wasn't able to a century ago. There are photos from Shackleton's expedition in this story. This is not really penguin related but penguins did play a small role.

Thank you from me too @Edyflwr . That was a fabulous story. I've known Worsley's name for many years. It's great to know so much about him. I felt quite affected by how he slept the night by Shackleton's grave - his hero 😃
