We were the fools who could not rest
In the dull earth we left behind,
But burned with passion for the South
And drank strange frenzy from its wind.
The world where wise men sit at ease
Fades from our unregretful eyes,
And thus across unchartered seas
We stagger on our enterprise.
– Ernest Shackleton
Three men with links to Sir Ernest Shackleton have reached the South Pole. Henry Worsley, Will Gow, and Henry Adams, descendents of Shackleton’s team or his family, took 66 days to complete the explorer’s route, 100 years after he abandoned it. Well done, guys!
